Subject(s): Online resources: In: Counter Terrorist Trends and Analysis Annual Threat Assessment . -- Vol. 7 No. 11 (December 2015- January 2016) p. 63-69Summary: Despite its geographical remoteness and small population size, Maldives is a fertile ground for transnational jihadist recruitment, as seen in the disproportionate number of Maldivian fighters in Syria. The growth of jihadism in the Maldives is a serious security concern, particularly for India and other South Asian countries. Although a phenomenon of the past decade, organised jihadist networks of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups operate in Maldives. An increasing number of individuals in the country are showing signs of radicalisation. Terrorism has become a concern in recent times, especially in light of the 28 September 2015 attack targeting President Abdulla Yameen.
