M$If you're interested in separating out the probability of a person being murdered, you have to look for homicide rates. According to http://www.guncite.com/gun_control_gcgvintl.html (data from the 1990's) the highest rate of homicides was in 1994 Estonia, at 0.2821 per 1000 population per year.
A more up to date source (and one less likely to be accused of bias) is http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_mur_percap-crime-murders-per-capita which shows the highest homicide rate in the world is in Colombia, at 0.617847 per 1,000 population. This is followed by South Africa at 0.496008 per 1,000. The US stands in 24th place with 0.042802 per 1,000 people, while Sudan, Israel, Somalia and Afghanistan do not even make the list of the top 62 highest homicide rate countries.

Good addition, thanks. This resource explains the high Swazi death rate - 26% or more of the population are infected with HIV, with the fraction exceeding 50% for people under age 20. Life expectancy is only about 32 years.
Figured I'd post that wiki link because i never heard of that country either.

"The countries that rank at the bottom of the Global Peace Index (GPI) -- meaning the countries least at peace -- include Sudan, Israel, Somalia and Afghanistan. Let's take a look at what exactly makes these countries so dangerous.
Sudan, located in northeastern Africa, is in the midst of a humanitarian crisis and internal strife. The majority of the conflict occurs in Darfur, where there's little safety or security.
In Israel, violence and homicides are relatively low within the general population, but the risk for terrorist acts is high.
Somalia, on the east coast of Africa, saw its government collapse in 1991. Since then, the country has been plagued by violence and instability. Internal conflicts have displaced 8.5 million people. More than 100 pirate attacks occurred off the coast in 2008, continuing into 2009."

The "high" risk of terrorism in Israel is highly misleading. Since September 2000, a total of 1184 people were killed in Israel through terrorism (http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/Terrorism-+Obstacle+to+Peace/Palestinian+terror+since+2000/Victims+of+Palestinian+Violence+and+Terrorism+sinc.htm ).
This is out of a current population of 7.23 million (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/is.html ).
Thus the average annual rate of terror-related deaths in Israel over the past 9 years has been 18 per 1,000,000.
The total death rate in Israel is currently about 5.43 per 1,000, which places Israel at the 178th place worldwide in terms of mortality (http://www.indexmundi.com/israel/death_rate.html ).
As you can see, terrorism contributed about 1/3 of 1% to Israel's death rate, hardly a significant contribution.
By comparison, the US death rate is 8.38 per 1,000 (http://www.indexmundi.com/united_states/death_rate.html ) placing the US in 101st place worldwide in terms of mortality. This rate is over 54% higher than the Israel's.
Or how about being stuck on oil platform and not being able to get off during a violent hurricane? At least you would have some warning with that scenario. You would not, however, if a giant rogue wave devoured up the platform and you with in a huge wall of water weighing tons of thousands of pounds.
