Default Global Terrorism - List

The World Markets Research Centre just released a report for Global Terrorism and a list of countries by the chances of a terrorist attack in their country.

I was so angry because I couldn't get the whole list online (without buying it)... but I found the top 10 list and also know where Iceland is on the list since I live here and it was on the news. (if you know where any other countries are on the list or know where the full list is, please add)

Anyway here is the top 10...

1. Colombia
2. Israel
3. Pakistan
4. United States
5. Philippines
6. Afghanistan
7. Indonesia
8. Iraq
9. India
10. UK

Iceland is in the 185 place out of 186 countries so I guess thats pretty darn safe

If your country is high on the list then I hope it will be lower in the futue.

Well I can't remember anything as major as 9/11 happening here since that day. I guess it's safer now than before at least.

They use some kind of % system to make that list...

Where terrorists would like to attack is a huge part of it.. and puts the US high since there are so many that would like to attack the country.

And many people think something like 9/11 will happen soon.

So yes the security is better but that just means they will try harder
