Book excerpt: In 2006, David Kilcullen stated that there has been more written about insurgency in the last four years then the last four decades, when the terminology was created. Terrorist organizations, in recent history, have been conducting operations similar to insurgents, such as living among the population in highly urbanized areas, where they conduct both recruiting and operations. It is important to note that this increased interest in terrorism is not based upon a single event, but in an increasing trend in terrorist attacks. From the years 1968-1997, the global average number of attacks ranged between 243 and 305 events annually. However, since 1997, that number has increased more than 6 times resulting in between 1589 to 1895 events per year. Between these time periods, the lethality of terrorist attacks have also increased. The United States government states that it has "no greater responsibility then ensuring the safety and security of the American people." Today, the global terrorism threat presents the greatest viable threat to the American people and therefore, is one of the main focuses of the United States government, as well as the rest of the world. Despite the importance of the issue, little is known about modern terrorism. Partially, this is due to the nature of today's insurgents, who differ significantly in terms of "policy, strategy, operational art, and tactical technique" from past insurgents. Consequently, this puts the United States and the world as a whole in a position where we know little about this global threat. Furthermore, this lack of understanding of this adversary has caused the U.S. to take a reactionary stance to countering terrorism, instead of a preventative stance.

Book excerpt: Terrorism in Africa has increased more than six-fold since 1997, with an increase in lethality as well. The U.S. government has spent billions of dollars to counter this increase in terrorism; however, terrorism in Africa has increased seemingly unabated. Furthermore, these methods used to counter-terrorism have been reactionary as opposed to preventative. To address the terrorism threat to a country, we must first understand which characteristics make a country vulnerable to such a threat. A confirmatory analysis bridges the inter-discipline gap between quantitative and qualitative fields through as assessment of observational findings about the causes of terrorism. An exploratory analysis evaluates additional variables to find indicators with predictive ability. Lastly, a classification analysis further analyzes these indicator relationships in order identify break points where vulnerabilities are most detected. Ultimately, these indicators should aid in providing key strategic options to reduce the terror threat and vulnerabilities across Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa is a continent of growing strategic importance in the global war on terrorism. Over the past decade, it has seen a significant number of terrorist attacks and operations, both north and south of the Sahara. Many of these attacks have been led by, coordinated with, or purported to be in support of al Qaeda, but others have been launched by African organizations without significant external support. African Counterterrorism Cooperation provides an overview of terrorist threats in each African economic region and examines terrorism and counterterrorism efforts on the continent as a whole. Drawn largely from papers presented by distinguished experts at a recent conference sponsored by the Africa Center for Strategic Studies at the National Defense University in Washington, DC, this volume comprises chapters on terrorism threats and vulnerabilities in Africa, the roles of the African Union and the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development, counterterrorism measures in East Africa, terrorism threats and responses in the Southern African Development Community Region, and counterterrorism initiatives in the Economic Community of West African States. The final chapter offers an overview of U.S. support for African counterterrorism efforts. Edited by Dr. Andre Le Sage and with a foreword by Gen. Carlton W. Fulford, Jr., USMC (Ret.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, Africa has been on the periphery of Western security policy. After 9/11, the U.S. and many of its allies increased engagement with the continent with claims that East Africa and the Sahel were hubs of terrorist activity. Intelligence analysts, asserting that ungoverned spaces and failed states were training grounds for future terrorists, increased their focus on Muslim populations in Africa. They concluded that political instability and poverty provided fertile recruiting fields to those who wanted to do harm to the West. Analyses reflecting these ideas flooded government narratives about the African continent. This text questions this approach to insecurity in Africa as well as American security and foreign policy. Looking at the narratives used by various Western governments since 2001, it argues that commonly used indicators of threats are based on mainstream security perspectives that provide a circumscribed view of what is a threat to international security in a post-9/11 world. To do so, it focuses on four key indicators: ungoverned spaces and failed states, Muslim populations, poverty, and political instability. By assessing specific threats critically, it explains how analysts need to understand the historic, social, political, and cultural contexts before correctly informing the West s foreign policy in Africa. It shows that these traditional characterizations of threats in Africa are relics of the Cold-War era perspectives of security, which focused on military capabilities, and can lead to dangerous security policy decisions. A critical approach to these indicators provides a more realistic and practical view of threats in Africa that have the potential to affect international stability. It also offers a broader and more dynamic approach to today s conditions in Africa in which the security of the individual affects the security of the international community."

Book excerpt: The Oklahoma City bombing, intentional crashing of airliners on September 11, 2001, and anthrax attacks in the fall of 2001 have made Americans acutely aware of the impacts of terrorism. These events and continued threats of terrorism have raised questions about the impact on the psychological health of the nation and how well the public health infrastructure is able to meet the psychological needs that will likely result. Preparing for the Psychological Consequences of Terrorism highlights some of the critical issues in responding to the psychological needs that result from terrorism and provides possible options for intervention. The committee offers an example for a public health strategy that may serve as a base from which plans to prevent and respond to the psychological consequences of a variety of terrorism events can be formulated. The report includes recommendations for the training and education of service providers, ensuring appropriate guidelines for the protection of service providers, and developing public health surveillance for preevent, event, and postevent factors related to psychological consequences.

This book was released on 2020-03-06 with total page 1697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the rise of big data and the internet of things, terrorist organizations have been freed from geographic and logistical confines and now have more power than ever before to strike the average citizen directly at home. This, coupled with the inherently asymmetrical nature of cyberwarfare, which grants great advantage to the attacker, has created an unprecedented national security risk that both governments and their citizens are woefully ill-prepared to face. Examining cyber warfare and terrorism through a critical and academic perspective can lead to a better understanding of its foundations and implications. Cyber Warfare and Terrorism: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications is an essential reference for the latest research on the utilization of online tools by terrorist organizations to communicate with and recruit potential extremists and examines effective countermeasures employed by law enforcement agencies to defend against such threats. Highlighting a range of topics such as cyber threats, digital intelligence, and counterterrorism, this multi-volume book is ideally designed for law enforcement, government officials, lawmakers, security analysts, IT specialists, software developers, intelligence and security practitioners, students, educators, and researchers.

Book excerpt: In-depth case studies of twelve terrorist groups and individuals who, from 1946 to 1998, allegedly acquired or employed CBW agents. Policymakers, scholars, and the news media have been alarmed by the potential for chemical and biological weapons (CBW) terrorism, and the U.S. Congress has allocated billions of dollars for counterterrorism and "consequence management" programs. Driving these concerns are the global spread of scientific knowledge and technology relevant to CBW terrorism and the vulnerability of civilian populations to chemical and biological attacks. Notably lacking from the analysis, however, has been a careful assessment of the terrorists themselves. What types of terrorist groups or individuals are both capable of acquiring chemical and biological weapons and motivated to use them, and for what purposes? Further, what types of toxic agents would probably be produced, and how would they be delivered? Answers to these questions would enable policymakers to prepare for the most likely contingencies. To this end, Toxic Terror provides in-depth case studies of twelve terrorist groups and individuals who, from 1946 to 1998, allegedly acquired or employed CBW agents. The cases were researched from primary sources, including court documents, interviews, and declassified government files. By comparing the twelve cases, the book identifies characteristic motivations and patterns of behavior associated with CBW terrorism and provides an empirical basis for prudent, cost-effective strategies of prevention and response.
