Transparency International (TI) has published the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) since 1995, annually ranking countries by their perceived levels of corruption, as determined by expert assessments and opinion surveys.. The CPI generally defines corruption as the misuse of public power for private benefit..
The Vehicle Born Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) is but the latest such incarnation of a very old theme - but with a deadly, sometime mass destructive force. The DHS defines this as a potential weapon of mass destruction.
At 1302, a second VBIED detonated along Route Elizabeth, to the northeast of the PHQ. Both events are security-sensitive, and seeing the possibility of the VBIED attacks, secret agencies have warned the police and other law enforcers to remain alert and make extraordinary security arrangements on both occasions.
