The IntelCenter’s ‘Top 10 Most
Dangerous Countries‘ list as of March 2015 is topped by the Middle East region,
with Iraq and Syria ranked No 1 and 2 respectively. IntelCenter’s Country Threat Index (CTI)
examines the volume of terrorist and rebel alerts, messaging traffic, videos,
photos, incidents and the number of people killed and injured in a country and
runs it through an algorithm to assign the country its CTI. The higher the CTI
the greater the risk.
It does, however, reflect a lower
level of activity over the preceding 30 days (of the analysis), which means
high-volume activity is unlikely but one-off events are always a possibility,”
IntelCenter, a Washington-based company working for intelligence agencies said
in a statement. “The CTI should never be the sole measure of risk in a country
but rather one factor to take into consideration. The CTI is based solely on
terrorist and rebel related activity. It does not evaluate other risk factors
such as crime and political instability,” it said.
Other countries on this top 10
include Somalia (4th), Afghanistan (5), Libya (6th), Yemen (7th), Pakistan
(8th), Ukraine (9th) and Egypt (10th). The Global CTI is arrived at by adding
up each individual country’s CTI. It serves as an overall indicator of global
terrorist and rebel activity, it added.
