The most dangerous/dead-less terrorist group in the world is Boko Haram Not ISIS: New findings REVELS

The jihadi group Boko Haram have been revealed as the most brutal terror organisation last year, killing more people than ISIS. The new report on global terrorism by the Institute of Economics and Peace reveals that Boko Haram murdered 6,664 people last year in comparison to ISIS's 6,073 victims.

Nigeria has been blighted with terror attacks, predominantly by Boko Haram but also by a smaller, lesser known militant group known as the Fulani militants, who murdered 1,229 people in 2014. 

'The country witnessed the largest increase in terrorist deaths ever recorded by any country, increasing by over 300 per cent to 7,512 fatalities,' the report notes.

The report also reveals that Boko Haram appear to have changed their targets, with an 11 per cent decrease in the number of deaths of religious figure and a 172 per cent increase in the deaths of private citizens. 

Boko Haram, who pledged their allegiance to ISIS in Syria and Iraq earlier this year, have frequently used child suicide bombers and mass kidnappings to stamp their authority in north-eastern Nigeria.

They changed their name to Islamic State in West Africa after declaring their allegiance to ISIS in Syria and Iraq in March 2015.
