[image: IntelCenter Top 10 Most Dangerous Terrorist/Rebel Groups (GTI Rankings)] Top 10 Most Dangerous Groups Group Threat Index (GTI) Based on Terrorist & Rebel Activity Over Past 30 Days as of 11 Nov. 2014
The top 10 most dangerous groups in the world based on terrorist and rebel activity over the past 30 days as of 11 Nov. 2014 are shown with their GTI rankings and score. The pie chart shows what percentage of global GTI each of the top groups represent. Up-to-the-minute GTI rankings for all groups are contained in the IntelCenter Database (ICD) <http://intelcenter.com/icd/index.html>. IntelCenter's Group Threat Index (GTI) examines the volume of terrorist and rebel alerts, messaging traffic, videos, photos, incidents and the number killed and injured by a group over the past 30 days and runs it through an algorithm to assign the group its GTI. The higher the GTI the greater the risk posed by the group. The GTI should never be the sole measure of threat posed by a group but rather one factor to take into consideration. *Rank* *Terrorist/Rebel Group* *GTI Score* 1 Islamic State (IS) 934 2 al-Shabaab 468 3 Boko Haram 242 4 al-Qaeda Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) 228 5 Taliban 197 6 Jabhat al-Nusrah 185 7 Jamaat-ul Ahrar 121 8 Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) 91 9 al-Huthi Rebels 90 10 Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) 86 There are a total of 56 groups with a GTI greater then zero. The average GTI for these groups is 56. The Global GTI is 3,111. *Methodology Note:* The Group Threat Index (GTI) is just one metric for tracking the activity of terrorist and rebels as it relates to the threat they pose. It should never be the only measure for assessing the threat posed by a group. When calculating the GTI only attacks directly attributed to a specific group are counted. For example, while most attacks in a region may be believed to be executed by group X. They are only counted if the group actually claims the attack or other statements directly attribute the attack to group X. In some regions this often results in an underreporting of actual attacks done by that group. A low GTI does not necessarily reflect the absence of a threat as al-Qaeda in the lead-up to 9-11 would have had a low GTI. It does, however, reflect a lower level of activity over the preceding 30 days which means high-volume activity is unlikely but one-off events are always a possibility. The Global GTI is arrived at by adding up each individual group's GTI. It serves as an overall indicator of global terrorist and rebel activity. Each group's live up-to-the-minute GTI ranking along with all data used to arrive at the GTI is available in the IntelCenter Database (ICD) <http://intelcenter.com/icd/index.html>. IntelCenter is continuously adding new material to the ICD, including historical data to enhance the accuracy of the GTI and other data points. In order to have the most accurate information, please always refer to the latest data available in the ICD. *The IntelCenter Database (ICD) <http://intelcenter.com/icd/index.html> allows users to easily track threats, tactics and targeting along with many other metrics related to terrorist and rebel groups. As of 11 Nov. 2014, the ICD has more then 143,000 records on terrorist and rebel activity. IntelCenter also provides analytical support services.* *Reporting and original source materials are contained in the IntelCenter Database (ICD) <http://intelcenter.com/icd/index.html>.
