North America is Least Likely Region to Suffer Terrorism
North America is the least likely region of the world to suffer from terrorism, according to the Global Terrorism Index, launched Tuesday, as reported by NBC News.
The body behind the index, the Australia-based Institute of Economics & Peace, said in a statement that since the 2003 Iraq invasion, the number of terror attacks worldwide has increased fourfold, but the number of fatalities has fallen by 25 percent from a peak in 2007.
