Acts of international terrorism occurred in 51 countries in 1995. The level of international terrorism in 1995 continued the downward trend of recent years in most countries. In addition, fewer terrorists acts caused deaths than in the previous year. However, the total number of international terrorist acts increased from 322 in 1994 to 420 in 1995, largely because of a major increase in nonlethal terrorist attacks against property in Germany and in Turkey by the Kurdistan Workers' Party. International terrorist attacks against United States interests increased to 99 in 1995 from 66 in 1994; the number of United States citizens killed increased from 4 to 12. The total number of fatalities from international terrorism worldwide declined from 314 in 1994 to 165 in 1995, but the number of persons wounded increased by a factor of 10 to 6,291 persons, including 5,500 injured in a gas attack in the Tokyo, Japan, subway system in March. Western Europe experienced more international terrorist attacks during 1995 than any other region, but most of the 272 incidents there were low-level arson attacks.
