Pakistan is considered as the second biggest threat to world peace, a new survey of people round the globe has revealed.

The End of Year survey conducted by Worldwide Independent Network/Gallup found that while US topped the list for being the biggest threat to world peace, Pakistan was just one place shy from being labeled the ultimate bad guy.

According to the Express Tribune, the poll found that 24 percent people considered US as the biggest threat, followed by only 8 percent of people who voted for Pakistan as a threat.

It was found that 2 out of 2000 Pakistanis opined Pakistan as currently the greatest threat to peace in the world.

After Pakistan, neighbouring China has been considered a threat by 6 percent of people, followed by Afghanistan and Iran at 5 percent each.

Meanwhile, India has been ranked eighth as only 4 percent of people considered it to be a threat to world peace.

The survey is a global study that collects the public's view on the challenges that the world faces today and is supposed to be a reflection of the thoughts and behaviours of the population from 65 countries around the world.
