• Abstract: Terrorism is one of the most life-challenging threats facing humanity worldwide. The activities of terrorist organizations threaten peace, disrupts progress, and halt the development of any nation. Terrorist activities in Nigeria in the last decades have negatively affected economic growth and have drastically reduced the possibilities of foreign investments in Nigeria. In this paper, statistical and inferential insights are applied to the terrorist activities in Nigeria from 1970 to 2019. Using the Global Terrorism Database (GTD), insights are made on the occurrences of terrorist attacks, the localities of the target, and the successful and unsuccessful rates of such attacks. The Apriori algorithm is also used in this paper to draw hidden patterns from the GTD to aid in generating strong rules through database mining, resulting in relevant insights. This understanding of terrorist activities will provide security agencies with the needed information to be one step ahead of terrorists in making the right decisions targeted at curbing terrorism in Nigeria.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used to control robotic systems such as drones. Their risks of causing physical threats and harm in real-world applications remain unexplored. We classify the physical safety risks of drones into four categories: (1) human-targeted threats, (2) object-targeted threats, (3) infrastructure attacks, and (4) regulatory violations.

  This paper is part of a research project that uses text from social networks to extract necessary information to build an adequate dataset for terrorist attack prediction. We collected a set of 3000 social network texts about terrorism in Burkina Faso and used a subset to experiment with existing NLP solutions. The experiment reveals that existing solutions have poor accuracy for location recognition, which our solution resolves.

  We propose the use of temporal meta-graphs and deep learning to forecast future terrorist targets. We derive 2-day-based time series that measure the centrality of each feature within each dimension over time. Formulating the problem in the context of the strategic behavior of terrorist actors, these multivariate temporal sequences are then utilized to learn what target types are at the highest risk of being chosen.

Such observable behaviour and communications data can be utilised by the authorities to estimate the threat posed by a terrorist group. Here we develop a Bayesian integrating decision support system that can bring together information relating to each of the members of a terrorist group as well as the combined activities of the group.
