To illustrate where the threat is most acute and which groups are active, below is a map and a table of the terrorist groups that are the biggest threat to potential attacks, looting or other attacks that a railway like this could face. This can change and there are different scenarious where the threat levels can change. This is based on the current snapshot of geopolitics.
