South Asia

In South Asia, the overall threat level remains high, with several States suffering attacks since the previous global survey. Many Al-Qaida and ISIL-affiliated terrorist groups (including, the Taliban, Al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), and the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant - Khorasan (ISIL - K)) are active in the subregion. Much of the terrorist activity in the subregion appears to be ISIL-inspired, if not directed (although ISIL has claimed credit for some attacks, despite a lack of evidence to substantiate its claims).
