Despite recent military and intelligence successes against Da’esh and other terrorist groups, countries continue to face the multifaceted challenge of terrorism and mitigating the factors that lead to violent extremism, detecting and preventing “homegrown” attacks, as well as managing the return of “foreign terrorist fighters” (FTFs) and accompanying family members from conflict zones.
