Abstract

Investigations towards studying terrorist activities have recently attracted a great amount of research interest. In this paper, we investigate the use of the Apriori algorithm on the Global Terrorism Database (GTD) for forensic investigation purposes. Recently, the Apriori algorithm, which could be considered a forensic tool, has been used to study terrorist activities and patterns across the world. As such, our motivation is to utilise the Apriori algorithm approach on the GTD to study terrorist activities and the areas/states in Nigeria with high frequencies of terrorist activities. We observe that the most preferred method of terrorist attacks in Nigeria is through armed assault. Again, our experiment shows that attacks in Nigeria are mostly successful. Also, we observe from our investigations that most terrorists in Nigeria are not suicidal. The main application of this work can be used by forensic experts to assist law enforcement agencies in decision making when handling terrorist attacks in Nigeria.

尼日利亚恐怖主义的法医调查:Apriori算法方法
最近,对恐怖活动的研究引起了极大的研究兴趣。在本文中,我们研究了在全球恐怖主义数据库(GTD)上使用Apriori算法进行法医调查的目的。最近,可以被认为是法医工具的Apriori算法被用于研究世界各地的恐怖活动和模式。因此,我们的动机是利用GTD上的Apriori算法方法来研究恐怖活动以及尼日利亚恐怖活动频繁的地区/州。我们注意到,武装袭击是尼日利亚恐怖袭击的首选方式。我们的实验再次表明,尼日利亚的袭击大多是成功的。此外,我们从调查中观察到,尼日利亚的大多数恐怖分子并没有自杀倾向。这项工作的主要应用可以被法医专家用来协助执法机构在处理尼日利亚的恐怖袭击时做出决策。
