10 most dangerous terrorist groups in the world (With Pictures)

4. Boko Haram

Boko Haram is the worst African terrorist group based in West Africa, and it is no surprise that it has close ties with Al-Qaeda. Although, like other terrorist groups, Boko Haram engages in kidnapping, bombing buildings and killing innocent civilians, propagating for and adopting the extreme and intolerant sharia law, and taking part in other inhuman activities, this group is uniquely against western education. In fact, the name Boko Haram actually means “Western education is sin.” Boko Haram’s founder and sect leader is Mohammed Yusuf, and under his leadership the terrorist group has conducted some of the worst crimes against innocent people, including kidnapping over 200 Nigerian schoolgirls, killing over 5,000 civilians over a five-year period between 2009 and 2014, and threatening to take over governments.
