Report: Ethnic, Racial Terrorism on Rise Around the World

Masood Farivar

   WASHINGTON - Citing a rise in ethnic and racial violence in many parts
   of the world, the State Department is mobilizing U.S. partners to
   combat white supremacist and other extremist groups.

   Nathan Sales, the State Department's counterterrorism coordinator, said
   Friday the "world saw a rise in racially or ethnically motivated
   terrorism" in 2018, calling the development a "disturbing trend."

   "Our role is mobilizing international partners to confront the
   international dimensions of this threat," Sales said at the launch of
   the State Department's 2018 Country Report on Terrorism.
