The countries with the greatest terror risk include Iraq, Syria, and Pakistan, according to data released by security specialists International SOS.


The 2018 Travel Risk map ranks countries around the world from insignificant to extreme to measure their terrorism risk.

It charts security threat levels throughout the world, in addition to the factors of medical and road safety.

Iraq tops the list as the country most at risk of being affected by terrorism, with a Global Terrorism Index score of 10.

authorities executed 42 Sunni Muslim militants convicted of terrorism in September this year.

This followed Sunni suicide attacks in which at least 60 people were killed near the southern city of Nassiriya.

In July this year, Iraqi forces backed by the US army captured Mosul, the Islamic State’s self declared capital.


After this, the Islamic State’s caliphate – which they declared in 2014 after capturing areas in the north and west of Iraq– collapsed.

According to a recent Ipsos Mori poll, 63 per cent (two thirds) of people think travel risks have increased in the last year.

There have been a number of terror attacks in this period, including ones in the UK, Paris, Stockholm and Barcelona.

Nearly half of those polled also said they had to change their travel itineraries after a natural disaster.

In 2017 alone, we have seen Hurricane Irma strike the USA and Caribbean, and a mudslide in Colombia which killed at least 200 people.

All is well

Nigeria can never gbaa last in evil reports like this.We are always notorious for the wrong reasons.Look at her sitting comfortably at number three on a very hopeless list.If it were to be something that has to do with socio-economic growth or development otherwise, she will make it among the first 20.

And where is the USA in the list ? Rubbish !
