What it proves

Links terrorism with geography, governance, development and border dynamics.

Draft — not reviewed

What it does not prove: These are shares of national totals, not rates per capita or per district, so they reflect where attacks happen rather than how exposed a resident of either province is. The deaths share (67%) sitting below the attacks share (>74%) also means attacks outside KP and Balochistan were on average more lethal, and roughly a quarter of incidents and a third of deaths still occurred elsewhere — concentration is not exemption for Punjab, Sindh or the major cities.

Memory hook: 74% of attacks, 67% of deaths → two provinces, deadlier attacks elsewhere

Rebuts the claim: 'Terrorism is an evenly distributed national threat needing uniform countrywide measures' — the geography demands province-specific and border-specific responses.
