Aon: global terror patterns shifting
Business must acknowledge the shifting patterns of terrorism and how they affect global revenue and supply chains, according to major broker Aon.
The threat of terrorism has risen in countries including the UK, Canada, France and India, but the “war on terror” seems to be having an effect on Al-Qaeda and splinter groups working under its influence.
Aon’s 2007 global report on terrorism threats shows terror networks have been disrupted. It says they are less co-ordinated as government agencies become more adept and sophisticated.
Aon has identified the threat of terrorism rising in India, northern Africa and parts of Europe – including the UK, France and Norway. Israel, Ireland, Jordan and Sierra Leone have registered a reduced terror threat.
“Businesses need to realise that the level and shape of the risk is constantly evolving,” Aon Crisis Management Executive Director Paul Bassett said. “As the risk profile changes, as parts of the world become more or less vulnerable to attack, the vulnerabilities in a business’ operations and revenue streams also change.”
