Which Middle Eastern Country will be host to the next terrorist attack?
)On the other hand Yemen and Lebanon which are prone to terrorist incidents have had continuing attacks due to long standing conflicts. Other countries such as Qatar, The UAE and Oman have been rather immune to terrorist activity.
