Bogota, Colombia<img src="http://s6.urbantitan.com:8080/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Bogota-Columbia.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />While security in Colombia has improved significantly in recent years,  violence by narco-terrorist groups continues to affect some rural areas  as well as the capital city, Bogota. In August  2010, a car bomb  exploded outside the Caracol radio station in Bogota and in October,  Colombian authorities claimed that they had foiled another car bomb  attack directed at the National Administrative Center in Bogota. Some  criminal organizations continue to kidnap and hold civilians for ransom  or as political bargaining chips. The fact that Colombia has one of the  highest violent crime rates in the world is quite enough for  understanding how dangerous Botota is.2. Ciudad Juárez, Mexico<img src="http://s9.urbantitan.com:8080/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Ciudad-Ju%C3%A1rez-Mexico.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="http://urbantitan.com/10-most-dangerous-cities-on-the-world-in-2010/" target="_blank">Ciudad Juárez</a>  is one of the world’s fastest growing cities in spite of the fact that  it has been called “the most violent zone in the world outside of  declared war zones.” Unfortunately, it seems that crime is growing along  with the city. There were around 1,400 murders in the city in 2008 and  over 2,500 drug-related deaths over the same period in 2010. Public life  is almost paralyzed out of fear of being hit by a stray bullet or  kidnapped. Over the past 10 years Ciudad Juárez has seen more than 400  women fall victims to sexual homicides.3. St. Louis, Missouri<img src="http://s5.urbantitan.com:8080/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/St.-Louis-Missouri.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />According to a latest study analyzing cities based on their FBI  statistics for murder, rape, robbery, and assault, St. Louis top the  list of the most dangerous city in America, beating Camden, Detroit and  New Orleans, last year’s most dangerous cities. After first being  pronaunced ‘America’s Most Dangerous City’ in 2006 and coming in second  place in 2009, St. Louis has once again reached the top. St. Louis had  2,070.1 violent crimes per 100,000 residents, compared with a national  average of 429.4. Overall, east St. Louis city is the area of nearly 65%  of the crime.4. Port-au-Prince, Haiti<img src="http://s7.urbantitan.com:8080/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Port-au-Prince-Haiti.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Despite the governmental changes that occurred in 2004, Port-au-Prince,  the capital and largest city of Haiti,  still regularly sees violent  outbreaks and demonstrations. There is no real police force that keeps  the violence under control in the city and the entire country  and many  towns in Haiti are literally controlled by criminals. Furthermore, while  a U.N. force has provided assistance to police in the country since  2004, their presence does not guarantee absolute security for visitors  or residents.  Haiti is among the four most important countries for drug  transit to the U.S. Kidnapping, murders, death threats, drug-related  shootouts, car-jacking, armed robberies and home break-ins are common in  Port-au-Prince.5. Mogadishu, Somalia<img src="http://s8.urbantitan.com:8080/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Mogadishu-Somalia.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />In August and September of 2010, terrorists launched a military  offensive attack against the Transitional Federal Government and African  Union. In August, a roadside bomb exploded and damaged three civilian  minibuses killing nine people and wounding 25, and in September, two  suicide bombers killed themselves in an attack on <a href="http://urbantitan.com/10-most-dangerous-cities-on-the-world-in-2010/" target="_blank">Mogadishu</a>  airport. Murder, kidnapping, illegal roadblocks, banditry, and other  violent incidents and threats to American citizens and other foreigners  can occur in Mogadishu, as well as in any region of Somalia.  Unpredictable armed conflicts among rival militias are prevalent in and  around the city. Terrorist attacks, cross-border warring and brutal,  violent street crime wrack the country on a daily basis.6. Caracas, Venezuela<img src="http://s7.urbantitan.com:8080/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Caracas-Venezuela.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />In our previously published article we have listed <a href="http://urbantitan.com/10-most-dangerous-cities-on-the-world-in-2010/" target="_blank">Caracas</a>  among the 10 most dangerous cities in the world in 2010. Well, it keeps  its place on the list in 2011. The murder rate in the capital of  Venezuela is said to be among the highest in the world, with much of  that violence being related to drug trafficking and resulting from the  fact that the country is located between the U.S. and Columbia. Armed  robberies are common in the city, even in areas presumed safe and  visited by tourists. Express kidnappings, in which victims are seized in  an attempt to get quick cash in exchange for their release, are a  problem. Even worse, police investigations into kidnappings have  revealed that police officers are often involved. Crime is even rampant  at the airport, which itself is said to be rife with corruption. And of  course, pickpockets, hotel thieves, scammers and grifters abound.7. Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea<img src="http://s6.urbantitan.com:8080/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Port-Moresby-Papua-New-Guinea.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Crime is a serious concern throughout Port Moresby, capital and largest  city of Papua New Guinea. If you decide to travel there, you are at a  greater risk of violent crimes such as rape and robbery. Also,  carjackings, stoning of vehicles, pickpockets, armed robberies are  problems in and around the city. Visiting unguarded public sites such as  golf courses, beaches,  parks or cemeteries can be dangerous for  visitors. Even public transportation is dangerous, making car rental the  safest way to get around the country. Beside the criminal, Papua New  Guinea is in an active seismic zone: tsunamis, earthquakes and  landslides can occur.8. Grozny, Chechnya, Russia<img src="http://s7.urbantitan.com:8080/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Grozny-Chechnya1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />In 2003 the UN called Grozny the ‘Most Destroyed City on Earth.’ The  city has undergone very destructive warfare since the 1990s, when the  Russian army demolished much of the city. Gangsters, mob and corruption  create problems for little remaining authority. Organized Crime is  rampant. Political and criminal murder, as well as rape rates, are very  high and kidnappings are a serious issue. Some destroyed buildings are  being rebuilt, but many continue to live without electricity or water.  Many Chechens have fled to places like Dagestan or Azerbaijan, as their  native country is not safe.9. Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic<img src="http://s9.urbantitan.com:8080/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Santo-Domingo-Dominican-Republic.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />If you decide to travel to the Dominican Republic this year, you should  strongly consider leaving valuable property at home. Crime continues to  be a big problem throughout the Dominican Republic. While mugging and  pick pocketing are the most common crimes against tourists, reports of  violence against both locals and foreigners are growing and reports of  car theft have increased. Also, demonstrations, protests and general  strikes occur periodically. Although political demonstrations don’t  generally occur in areas frequented by tourists and are generally not  targeted at foreigners, it is advisable to exercise caution when  traveling throughout the country.10. Muzaffarabad, Kashmir, Pakistan<img src="http://s5.urbantitan.com:8080/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Muzaffarabad-Kashmir.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Although it is considered a “paradise on earth,” primarily known for its  captivating beauty serene lakes, dazzling rivers and splendid gardens,  Kashmir is thought  by many academics to be the place where the next  nuclear holocaust will occur. The region is divided among 3 countries  (India, Pakistan and China) in a territorial dispute. These 3 countries  are Nuclear armed states, and the tension in Kashmir has resulted in  nuclear brinkmanship between Pakistan and India on several occasions.  Rallies, demonstrations, and processions occur regularly throughout  Pakistan on very short notice. Organised crime in Pakistan include drug  trafficking, forged Indian currency printing, extortion, murder for hire  and fraud. Furthermore, other criminal operations engage in human  trafficking, black marketeering, corruption, political violence,  abduction, terrorism etc.credit to original poster/site<img src="http://www.elakiri.com/forum/images/icons/sq/11.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.elakiri.com/forum/images/icons/sq/11.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
