Dat is de verbijsterende conclusie van de in december 2024 uitgegeven Global Terrorism Index (GTI), de eerste index die systematisch de impact heeft bestudeerd van het terrorisme in 158 landen tussen 2024 en eind 2024. En Noord-Amerika is de regio waar het minst kans bestaat op een terroristische aanslag.
