Pakistan remains to be a breeding ground of terrorism with the country registering the highest number of terrorist bases and safe havens, reveals a report.
Identifying Lashkar-e-Tayiba as the outfit which continues to pose the maximum threat to international security, it said that Pakistan poses three times the terror risk to humanity than Syria.
The facts were published in a report titled "Humanity at Risk - Global Terror Threat Indicant by Oxford University and Strategic Foresight Group.
It terms Pakistan a supporter of global terrorism and a country which is responsible for three times the terror risk to humanity that Syria poses.
The survey states that while the Afghan Taliban and the LeT pose the maximum threat to international security, Pakistan is placed on top of the list of countries with the highest number of terrorist bases and safe havens.
"If we look at the most dangerous terrorist groups, based on hard facts and statistics, we find that Pakistan hosts or aids majority of them. Also, there are a significant number of groups based in Afghanistan, which operate with the support of Pakistan," the report says.
The over 80-page report, which has been prepared to discuss security challenges in the next decade, presents an analytical framework for policymakers to tackle terrorism.
