Patterns Of Global Terrorism: 1991
Asian Overview
</hdr>
<body>
<p> The number of international terrorist incidents in Asia
decreased from 92 incidents in 1990 to 47 in 1991, partly
because of the Philippine Government successes against the
Communist New People's Army. The death toll from attacks by
Sikh, Kashmiri, Assamese, and other militant groups in India
continued to rise, with foreigners increasingly targeted or
caught in the crossfire. Sri Lankan terrorists carried out
several fatal attacks in the capital of Colombo and elsewhere
and are believed responsible for the assassination of
Congress-I party leader Rajiv Gandhi in India. There was an
increased number of attacks against Western aid workers and
moderate Afghans in northwestern Pakistan attributed to militant
Afghan fundamentalist groups. Also, Iraqi terrorists and their
surrogates attempted or planned attacks in several Asian
countries, none of which resulted in serious injuries or death
to any but the terrorists themselves.
