the list looks at number of incidents only. in order for it to be more accurate, the IMPACT of these attacks have to be calculated, based on population of the country, losses (both monetary and human) due to the attack, reaction to the attack, number of attacks prevented etc.
 
And no one would discuss about the country which is the biggest beneficiary of 9/11 conspiracy.
Why is Al-Qaeeda very friendly with that particular country?
Why Bin-Laden and Taliban only wish to kill Pakistani leaders?
