10 Countries That Are Worst Hit by Terrorism


6 Somalia
Terrorism Index: 7.24
Somalia has been one of the red alert countries. The most recent of the major terror attacks was the 2011 Mogadishu bombing, when a suicide bomber drove a truck into the ministerial complex in Mogadishu, Somalia. The explosion killed over 100 people and over 110 others were injured. The attack is seen as one of the largest since the Al-Shabaab insurgency launched in early 2007. Al- Shabaab is the unit of the militant Islamist group Al-Qaeda based in Somalia, which was formally recognized in 2012.

5 Yemen
Terrorism Index: 7.30
The U.S. government illustrates Yemen as ‘an important partner in the global war on terrorism.’ Yemen has reported many terrors against civilians, in December 2002 when the suspected Abid Abdulrazzaq Al-Kamil murdered three U.S. workers and hurt one in a hospital in Jibla with a semi-automatic rifle. The suspect was later arrested and charged. The terror threat from Muslim extremists, led to Jews in Yemen leaving their home and taking refuge. The 2008 murder of Moshe Ya'ish al-Nahari because he refused to convert from Jew to Muslim is one of the most noted incidents of terrorism in Yemen.
