The Global Terrorism Index has found terrorism took 27 per cent fewer lives in 2017, with three Australian deaths.
Deaths from terrorism have fallen dramatically since 2014, when terror activity was at its peak, a report has found, but terrorism is still widespread around the world.
The sixth annual Global Terrorism Index, developed by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), found Iraq, Syria and parts of Europe noted significant improvements, with a reduced number of deaths being attributed largely to the continuous decline of the IS group.
Deaths from terrorism decreased by 27 per cent in 2017 to 18,814 globally, an improvement for a third consecutive year and a 44 per cent decrease since 2014.
