Are we doing better on Terrorism? State says so.

Terror report: Attacks down overall
Iran considered 'most active state sponsor of terrorism'

From Elise Labott
CNN Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A U.S. State Department annual report released Wednesday said terrorist attacks were down overall last year -- the lowest level since the 1960s -- but that the world is still a dangerous place.

Terrorism still "casts its grim shadow across the globe," Secretary of State Colin Powell told a news conference.

Attacks drop 44 percent

Powell cited increased cooperation in the war on terrorism and military action in Afghanistan and Iraq as contributing factors for the decrease in attacks.

The report counted 199 attacks conducted by international terrorist groups, a 44 percent drop from the 355 attacks in 2001
