<p> The global pandemic has offered extraordinary opportunities for extremists and terrorists to mobilize themselves and revive as more powerful actors in the security landscape. But could these threat groups actually capitalize on the coronavirus crisis and advance their malevolent agendas?

It provides for the first time a true picture of novel trends since the pandemic outbreak.</p>
