Rising extremism in South Asia

The trend towards violence and extremism in South Asia moved inexorably upwards in 2009. Afghanistan and Pakistan experienced major increases in terrorist incidents, often involving suicide bombings against high-profile urban targets including hotels frequented by foreign nationals and installations belonging to the security forces. Though governments have begun to take small practical steps to manage the problem more effectively, these are unlikely to have much impact in the short term. The likelihood of continuing high levels of violent extremism in 2010 remains high.
