Despite better security, it takes one terrorist strike to cause setback

President Uhuru Kenyatta addresses the Nation from State House, Nairobi following the terrorist attack at Dusit Complex, Nairobi.

That no place in the world is free from terrorism is a depressing fact. However, some countries are better at fighting it than others.  In Israel, for example, over 500 attacks are thwarted per year.

In the UK, the intelligence services claim to stop at least one major terrorist attack per month.  These countries have real threats, as do the US, African countries, countries of majoritarian Christian, Muslim or other religious orientation.
