 Elena Vnorovscaia \/ Chi\u015fin\u0103u \/ Moldova.ORG \/ — Maplecroft, a consultancy firm that studies and monitors political, economic, social, and environmental risks, developed the Terrorism Index to allow business to identify and monitor the risks posed by terrorism to employees and assets in 198 countries. The research is conducted over a 12-month period, and surveys terrorist attacks all over the world.<\/p>\n

The risk-advisory firm report has rated the fledgling state of South Sudan in the top five countries most at risk from terrorist attacks after Somalia, Pakistan, Iraq and Afghanistan, whilst data also reveals that terrorist attacks are on the increase globally.<\/p>\n

Talking of top 20 the most dangerous and extremely risky countries Maplecroft indicates: 1) Somalia, 2) Pakistan, 3) Iraq, 4) Afghanistan (again topping the ranking), 5) South Sudan, 6) Yemen, 7) Palestinian Occupied Territories, 8) DR Congo, 9) Central African Republic, 10) Colombia, 11) Algeria, 12) Thailand, 13) Philippines, 14) Russia, 15) Sudan, 16) Iran, 17) Burundi, 18) India, 19) Nigeria and 20) Israel.<\/p>\n

The only Western European country seen at high risk was Greece, assessed at 27, down from 24, due to violent left-wing groups. The next most at risk was Britain, rated at 38, up from 46, while France was at 45, barely changed from 44.<\/p>\n

The survey rated Norway at a lowly 112. But the study period did not cover an attack in Norway by anti-Muslim zealot Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people in Oslo and a nearby island.<\/p>\n

USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Germany were placed in the low risk category.<\/p>\n

Maplecroft states that South Sudan’s death toll of 2011 from terrorist attacks pales in comparison to the top four countries. Over the same period Somalia suffered 1,385 deaths, Pakistan 2,163 deaths, Iraq 3,456 deaths and Afghanistan 3,423 deaths, which together account for over 75 percent of the world’s 13,492 fatalities.<\/p>\n

Maplecroft’s research also reveals that the number of terrorist attacks rose by approximately 15 percent globally, with 11,954 incidents between April 2010 and March 2011, compared to 10394 from April 2009 to March 31st 2010. However, there was a decrease in fatalities falling to 13,492 from 14,478.
