Nigeria Has World's Deadliest Terrorist Attacks-Global Terrorism Index by Akbee(m): 12:40pm On Nov 22, 2015
Nigeria has the most lethal terrorist
attacks in the world, according to the
2015 Global Terrorism Index.
The index is produced by the Institute
for Economics and Peace based on
data from the Global Terrorism
Database, which is collected and
collated by the National Consortium for
the Study of Terrorism and Responses
to Terrorism.
The GTD is considered to be the most
comprehensive dataset on terrorist
activity globally and has codified over
140,000 terrorist incidents.
According to the report, Iraq had 25
per cent of all terrorist incidents,
followed by Pakistan with 14 per cent
and Afghanistan with 12 per cent.
Nigeria reportedly experienced only five
per cent of the incidents but had the
second highest number of deaths at
23 per cent.
“Terrorist attacks are much more
lethal in Nigeria than any other
country. On average there were 11
deaths per attack in Nigeria. In
contrast, Iraq had an average of three
deaths per attack.
“The 2015 Global Terrorism Index
highlights that terrorism continues to
rise. The total number of deaths from
terrorism in 2014 reached 32,685,
constituting an 80 per cent increase
from 18,111 the previous year.
“This is the highest level ever recorded.
The significant majority of these
deaths, over 78 per cent, occurred in
just five countries; Iraq, Nigeria,
Afghanistan, Pakistan and Syria,” the
report read.
