Bangladesh ranks 39 on Global Terrorism Index

Bangladesh ranked 39 among 158 countries in the Global Terrorism Index (GTI), which launches its inaugural report from London on Tuesday.

The study says that in Bangladesh, there were a total 6 attacks of such kind and a total of 4 died on those incidents since 2001.

Among the South Asian countries, Bangladesh is the least terrorism affected nation.

The index ranks 158 countries over the past 10 years. Only 31 of them have not experienced a terrorist attack since 2001.

Produced by the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP), the GTI is the first index to rank countries on the impact of terrorism and analyses the associated economic and social dimensions.

The index is 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 (START), headquartered at the University of Maryland in USA.

According to the report, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and Yemen are the top five terrorism affected nations.

The study says that terrorist incidents peaked in 2007 after increasing every year in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks in 2001. But terrorism fatalities have decreased by 25 percent since then.

India is among top five terror-hit nations, reveals study


A new index prepared by an Australian think tank says that India, Pakistan and Afghanistan were among the nations most impacted by terrorism in 2011.

The Global Terrorism Index (GTI), which was released on Tuesday by the Australia-based Institute for Economics & Peace, ranked countries based on data from the Global Terrorism Database run by a consortium based at the University of Maryland. The GTI revealed that Pakistan, India and Afghanistan accounted for 12 per cent, 11 per cent and 10 per cent of global terrorist incidents respectively from 2002 to 2009.

According to the figures put out by the institute, there had been 529 incidents of terrorism in India in 2011 that had taken the lives of 402 people and injured 687. India's high numbers come in the period 2006-2010 when the casualty figures averaged more than 600 per year, peaking at 735 in 2009 and 772 in 2010. However, in terms of public perception there is little doubt that 2008, the year in which the Indian Mujahideen carried out a number of bombing attacks across the country, and the Lashkar-e-Tayyeba (LeT) strike in Mumbai would have been the deadliest year for the country.

In 2011, the Middle East, India, Pakistan and Russia were the areas most impacted by terrorism. India's GTI rank was 4 out of the 159 countries surveyed. While Iraq stood at number 1, Pakistan at number 2, Afghanistan at number 3 and Yemen was number 5.

Overall, there were 7,473 fatalities in 2011 due to terrorism, which is 25 per cent less than in 2007. The index shows that global terrorism only started to increase after the escalation of the Iraq war. This was subsequently followed by further increasing waves of terrorism in Afghanistan and then in Pakistan 18 months later.

"Terrorism is one of the most emotive subjects of our time. The impact of terrorism does seem to have plateaued over the last three years but is still unacceptably high," said Steve Killelea, executive chairman of the Institute for Economics & Peace, which produced the index.

Only 31 of the 159 countries ranked have not experienced a terrorist attack since 2001.

It is indian habit from indian govt to indian media to indians who spread terrorist propaganda against anyone oppose indian hegemony. See the admission of how india ran al-Qaeda propaganda campaign against Maldives govt that does not entertain indian hegemonic acts.
Same way indians ran propaganda campaign against Bangladesh and will do so in future. Problem for india is rest of the world already caught up with indian lie and deception.

Lessons from Male

It was none of our business to propagate how the 3 lakhs Maldivians should practise liberal democracy. Worse still, we saw an al-Qaeda hand where none existed. We got out of the goof-up and reverted to our traditional policy of not being prescriptive to our neighbors, but the damage was done.
