Transnational terrorism involves unlawful violence by internationally linked groups across multiple countries. It poses a significant threat as groups like Al-Qaeda have global networks and ideologies. Countries and organizations like ASEAN and the UN have implemented measures to enhance cooperation against terrorism such as intelligence sharing. However, transnational terrorism remains a challenge to manage fully due to terrorists' ability to evade capture and recruit new members by spreading their ideologies online. Both governmental and societal efforts are needed to contain transnational terrorist threats.
Yemen; Rival Factions and the Resilience of AQAPAlan J. Kirk
This document provides background on Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and discusses how rival political factions in Yemen have contributed to AQAP's resilience. It outlines AQAP's history, leadership structure, and major attacks. It then discusses the various armed and non-armed political factions in Yemen, including the Houthi rebels in the north, and how the country's political fragmentation draws attention away from eliminating AQAP and undermines security efforts against the group.

TOP 6 WORST TERRORIST ATTACKS IN THE HISTORY
6. Amerithrax Terrorist Attacks
Exactly one week after the September 11 attacks on 18th of September 2001, this brutal attack happened but caused a shock after various weeks. This attack was not by missiles or bombs but by letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to different well positioned officers, caused death of 5 innocent people and infected 17 others people. It is one of the most complicated cases in the history of America to be handled even by FBI officers. The Government officers after this terrific incident got scared and took high potency antibiotics and raised the security.
5. World Trade Centre Bombing Of 1993
This worst terrorist attack of bombing of World Trade Centre occurred before the 9/11 on 26th of February, 1993 and was not completely successful but caused huge damage to the buildings. In this attack a truck bomb was exploded below the North Tower of the World Trade Centre of New York. It was planned to knock down the both twin towers and to kill thousands of the people but the terrorists missed the task as they were failed to destroy the twin towers.7 people were died in this attack while 1,042 people were injured. It was an attack to demolish the backbone of US.
4. Bombing Of The Wall Street
The bombing of the Wall Street occurred on 16th of September, 1920, around 12:00 pm when a horse- drawn wagon containing 100 pounds of dynamite was exploded by a timer-set detonation and shook the financial sector of the New York. This bombing caused the death of 38 people and 143 people seriously got injured. The culprits behind this act were not exactly traced but it was suspected that the Galleanists were the master minds behind this brutal attack, although not announced officially. This bombing caused a property damage of more than $2 million and demolished most of the interior spaces of the Morgan building.
3. Mumbai Attacks Of 2008
The most weird and worst terrorist attacks in the history of India are Mumbai attacks of 2008. On 26th of November, 2008, the terrorist targeted the most popular and royal Hotel Taj Mahal that is located in the premises of Gate way of India. This attack included shootings, bombings, hostage crisis and siege. It was a 64 hours long war between the terrorists and the military forces, continuously bombardment from the both sides. On this sad day there were 10 attacks on the several places in Mumbai but the main focus was the hotel. This attack took away the lives of approximately 166 people including 10 attackers and injured more than 600 people.
2. Bombing Of Oklahoma City
The document discusses the goals and impacts of terrorism through examples like the September 11 attacks and 2002 Bali bombings. It led to significant loss of life and economic impacts like losses to the insurance and airline industries totaling $40 billion. The attacks also caused social impacts like fear, suspicion, and loss of tourism income in Bali of 50%. The document advocates for unity and vigilance against terrorism through total defense and international cooperation.
The document provides an overview of terrorism, including definitions, causes, impacts, rates according to the Global Terrorism Index, reasons why people become terrorists, and examples of terrorist attacks in Pakistan, Syria, and the US. It discusses the Peshawar school attack in Pakistan in detail and provides counterterrorism recommendations such as education, understanding cultural differences, eliminating root causes, and being prepared in emergency situations. The conclusion argues that captured terrorists should be tried in criminal rather than military courts.
CTP’s Threat Update series is a weekly update and assessment of the al Qaeda network. The al Qaeda network update includes detailed assessments of al Qaeda’s affiliates in Yemen, the Horn of Africa, and the Maghreb and Sahel.
Below are the top three takeaways from the week:
1. The Islamic State of Iraq and al Sham (ISIS) may exploit rising instability in Morocco to conduct more frequent attacks in Europe and North Africa. Moroccan security forces, which have prevented ISIS attacks in the country, are struggling to manage a growing protest movement. This civil unrest, paired with the shifting of migrant flows from Libya toward Morocco, will strain the country’s security resources and reduce pressure on ISIS networks there. Instability in Morocco also increases the risk of attacks in Europe, where Moroccan militants participated in recent ISIS attacks in Spain and a suspected ISIS-linked stabbing in Finland. [Read a recent warning on the implications of instability in Morocco.]
2. The partnership between the al Houthi movement and former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh is fracturing. Senior al Houthi leaders accused Saleh of conducting treasonous negotiations with the Gulf States. Saleh denied the accusations and blamed the al Houthis for governance failures in Sana’a. Tensions within the al Houthi-Saleh bloc provide an opportunity for the U.S. to advance a political settlement to the Yemeni conflict. The al Houthi movement lacks the capability to continue the civil war without Saleh’s forces. An elite-brokered peace deal that does not address the grievances driving the war will not end Yemen’s instability, however. [Read Katherine Zimmerman’s recommendations for U.S. engagement in Yemen.]
3. U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Pakistan for harboring terrorist groups during a speech announcing a new U.S. military strategy in Afghanistan on August 21. A Pakistani army spokesman dismissed the criticism and stated that Pakistan has taken action against militant groups in its terrain. Pakistan will likely intensify counter-militancy operations near the Afghan border to safeguard its relationship with the U.S. Pakistan may also increase support for militant groups in the disputed Kashmir territory to counteract U.S. engagement with India. [Read Frederick W. Kagan’s “Trump outlines the foundation of a changed approach in Afghanistan.”]
Terrorism is a global concern that advances radical agendas through violent and destructive acts, resulting in death. It causes fear among citizens and damage to economies. The document lists several perceived causes of terrorism, such as unjust policies, cultural differences, and Western imperialism. Effects of terrorism include withdrawal of foreign investment, loss of government revenue, restricted travel, heightened paranoia, and increased military budgets that take away from social services. The document recommends preparedness, information sharing between countries, protecting civilians, fair investigations, and public education campaigns to combat terrorism.
The document summarizes the origins and goals of terrorist groups like Al Qaeda and the Taliban. It discusses how the Taliban formed in response to civil war in Afghanistan after the Soviet withdrawal. It also explains that Al Qaeda was founded by Osama Bin Laden and consists mainly of Arab fighters who remained in Afghanistan after the Soviet war. The document then analyzes some major terrorist attacks carried out by Al Qaeda, like 9/11. It concludes by assessing different approaches to dealing with terrorism, including deterrence and the three step solution proposed by Frey.

CTP’s Threat Update series is a weekly update and assessment of Iran and the al Qaeda network. CTP’s Iran team follows developments on the internal politics, nuclear negotiations, and regional conflicts closely. The al Qaeda network update includes detailed assessments of al Qaeda’s affiliates in Yemen, the Horn of Africa, and the Maghreb and Sahel.
Below are the top three takeaways from the week:
1. Two rival governments appear to be emerging in Yemen – one based in Sana’a and controlled by the al Houthis and the other based in Aden under former President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi. President Hadi, however, will likely have to contend with Southern Movement factions who reject his presence in southern Yemen.
2. The IRGC Great Prophet 9 military exercises reinforced the Supreme Leader’s December 1 call to enhance Iran’s military capabilities “irrespective” of the nuclear negotiations. The operational framework of the military drills, moreover, seemed to be aimed at deterring a potential attack, in the event that Tehran and the P5+1 fail to reach a final deal.
3. Violent clashes between Somali security forces and Ahlu Sunna wa al Jama’a (ASWJ) militias in central Somalia risk undermining the Somali government’s ability to combat al Shabaab, potentially allowing the al Qaeda affiliate to regain territory in the region.
this was made by me before 3 years so it is not based on the latest updates...will make those updates and post it very sonn.....yet this is one of the greatest presentations on terrorism!
The document defines terrorism as unlawful acts of violence intended to intimidate governments or societies to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals. It discusses the goals and methods of terrorists, including producing widespread fear, gaining media attention, extorting money, and destroying economies. Various types of terrorism are outlined such as state terrorism, bio terrorism, and cyber terrorism. Prominent terrorist attacks like 9/11 and the Mumbai attacks are mentioned. Solutions proposed include stringent anti-terrorism laws, a federal investigative agency, modern counter-terrorism equipment, and public cooperation with governments.

Terrorists carried out coordinated attacks across multiple locations in an Indian metropolis, including hotels, Parliament, and a world trade center, using automatic weapons and grenades. Many people were killed and injured in the planned assaults. The conditions after the terror attacks involved hospitalizing victims and mounting a rescue operation amid the aftermath.

This document provides a summary of key political figures and leadership positions in Libya. It outlines that Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has led Libya since 1969 as the "Leader of the Revolution" and "Brother Leader" through a combination of playing off interest groups and brutal suppression of dissent. It also introduces Prime Minister Shukri Ghanem, who favors economic reforms but has limited power, and Foreign Minister Abd el-Rahman Shalgam, who is close to Gaddafi and instrumental in negotiations that reduced Libya's international isolation. Additionally, it briefly describes Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son being groomed to succeed his father who is influential but faces rivalry from his brother Saadi.
This paper traces the development of Boko-Haram from two perspectives (Socio-economic and Political), it exposes the reasons for the re-emergence of insecurity in Nigeria, precisely Northern zone which shares the same culture with Northern Cameroon. The paper equally explores the various groups threatening Nigerian sovereignty and countries of the Lake Chad Basin. It also outlines some responses to adapt to the changing modus operandi of the terrorist organization.
Al Qaeda is the terrorist organization founded by Osama bin Laden in 1988. The group’s ideology is founded on the premise that Muslims who follow secular leaders are treating these leaders as gods, and therefore, are apostates because they are disobeying the first principle in Islam, the assertion that “There is no deity but Allah.” Adherents to this ideology claim to be defending Islam when they kill these Muslims and Westerners who advocate or support this form of apostasy. Al Qaeda’s goal is to liberate Muslim lands of “apostate” governments and establish an Islamic state, a caliphate, in their stead.
Osama bin Laden envisioned al Qaeda as a global network that led the jihad against the United States, the West, and allied Muslim governments. The group known today as al Qaeda core serves as the center of the al Qaeda network, which now also includes groups recognized by the al Qaeda emir, or leader, as affiliates. These are al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, al Shabaab, al Qaeda in Iraq, Jabhat al Nusra, al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, and the Islamic Emirate of the Caucasus. Recovered al Qaeda correspondence, especially from the Abbottabad raid, reveals continued communications about ongoing developments and operations between senior leaders in Pakistan and leaders of affiliated groups.

This document discusses the causes and effects of terrorism in Pakistan. It identifies several root causes, including Pakistan's involvement in the US war against the Soviet Union which led to extremism, drone attacks by the US, and foreign interference from intelligence agencies like the CIA. Terrorism has had severe economic and human impacts, resulting in over 22,000 civilian deaths and damage to Pakistan's economy. The government has implemented measures like the National Action Plan to crack down on terrorist financing and arrests, and operations in Karachi have targeted militant groups. Ending foreign interference and building trust between allies is seen as important to fully addressing the issue of terrorism in Pakistan.
It is the core purpose of the Atlantic Council to foster bipartisan support for policies that promote the security of the United States and the transatlantic community. The signatories of this piece have either served in Afghanistan, been involved in the formation of US policy in government, or otherwise devoted considerable time to Afghan affairs. They have come together to register a broad, bipartisan consensus in support of certain principles that they believe should guide policy formation and decision-making on Afghanistan during the remainder of the Obama administration and the first year of a new administration, of whichever party. It is critical that the current administration prepare the path for the next. A new president will come into office facing a wave of instability in the Islamic world and the threat from violent extremism, which stretches from Asia through the Middle East to Africa. This will continue to pose a considerable challenge and danger to American interests abroad, and to the homeland. The signatories support the continued US engagement required to protect American interests and increase the possibilities for Afghan success.

Terrorism involves using violence and threats to create fear in order to achieve political or ideological goals. The document defines key terms related to terrorism such as Osama bin Laden, who founded al Qaeda and planned the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the U.S., and the Taliban, an Islamic fundamentalist group that controlled Afghanistan. It also discusses government organizations like the Department of Homeland Security that work to prevent terrorism and laws like the Patriot Act that expanded government powers to fight terrorism. ISIS is introduced as a terrorist organization led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi that aims to establish an Islamic state across Iraq and Syria and uses brutal tactics like public executions.

1. An IRGC Intelligence Organization representative released details on the recent arrest of several media professionals in Iran, likely in an effort to contain President Rouhani's domestic influence following the nuclear deal.
2. An American contractor died in custody in Sana'a, Yemen while a second American contractor and an American teacher remain detained.
3. A second small group of al Shabaab militants in Somalia pledged allegiance to ISIS, prompting al Shabaab to crack down on potential defectors.

Genesis of suicide attacks in Pakistani society.
A suicide attack is an attack on a military or civilian target, in which an attacker intends to kill others, and knows that they will either certainly or most likely die in the process.
Degrading al Qaeda leadership is central to American counterterrorism strategy, but the leaders today are not the same as they were in 2001. Al Qaeda leaders are no longer necessarily connected by formal networks and many operate outside of any formal affiliation to the al Qaeda network. Such a development makes it insufficient to rely solely on group membership or public identification to isolate the al Qaeda leadership group.

Wi-Fi allows electronic devices to connect to the internet and each other wirelessly using radio bands. It allows people to stay connected anywhere within range of a wireless access point. Now Wi-Fi is ubiquitous and found in homes, businesses, public spaces and even some entire cities, providing constant internet access on smartphones and other devices. This has transformed how people communicate, get information, do banking, plan trips and more, making modern life nearly unimaginable without wireless internet connectivity.
How technologies has led to moral decayFariha Habib
This document discusses how technology has led to moral decay in society. It begins by defining technology and moral values. It then explains how overuse of technologies like phones, social media, and computers has made people obsessed and disconnected from their community. Younger age groups are most affected. This issue has been ongoing since the rise of MySpace and other early social media. Impacts include violent behavior, poor health, pollution, and cybercrime. The document analyzes effects on lifestyles, education, and cultural changes in media like decreased quality of Pakistani dramas over time.

This document discusses how technology has led to moral decay in society. It begins by defining technology and moral values. It then explains how overuse of technologies like phones, social media, and computers has made people obsessed and disconnected from their community. Younger age groups are most affected. This issue has been ongoing since the rise of MySpace and other early social media. Impacts include violent behavior, poor health, pollution, and cybercrime. The document analyzes effects on lifestyles, education, and cultural changes in media like decreased quality of Pakistani dramas over time.

The document argues that while technology itself is not terrible, it can be misused through activities like cybercrime, hacking, theft, and suicide bombings/hydrogen bombs. It also suggests technology is negatively impacting literacy skills and replacing jobs. The conclusion is that while technology has become necessary, the advancements are ultimately detrimental to life on Earth if misused.

The document discusses effective use of icons and images in user interfaces. It promotes registering for a virtual seminar on the topic presented by Patrick Hofmann on December 3, 2009. The document cautions that icons can have different meanings in different cultural regions and provides examples of icons that may be interpreted differently depending on factors like language, geography, religion, gender and age.
This document provides a lighthearted guide to typography using dating and relationships as a metaphor. It discusses various typographic concepts such as typeface vs. font, type anatomy, font families, pairing typefaces, kerning and leading, and more. Each section relates these concepts to different stages of a relationship from the initial attraction and compatibility to long-term commitment. The document uses humor and analogies to make typically dry typographic topics more engaging and accessible.
Using icons is a great way to add visuals to your presentation. There are many ways to get icons online, some are even free. But if you need a specific icon that you can’t find or if you want a special spin to your icon (color, shadow etc) – you can use PowerPoint’s great (and somewhat hidden) “Merge Shapes” commands to create your own icons.
Using these commands you can combine basic shapes into other shapes. You can union and subtract shapes. You can intersect and combine. All while still working natively inside PowerPoint. Once you have created an icon you can change the color, filling and add shadows as needed.
It is just as fun as building with Lego blocks! Well, almost..
This is a guide in 15 steps showing you how you can use these commands to create your own icon - the example we are using is a calendar icon.
The document discusses the declining moral values among youth. It states that youth today lack discipline and respect for elders and teachers, which has led to increased crime, violence, and drug abuse. It attributes this decline to a lack of moral education in schools. Moral values are not taught seriously and are not included in board exams, so both students and teachers do not see the importance. The document argues that moral education should be made compulsory and that workshops should be organized to help youth discuss their problems and ways to improve moral values.
Creative Concepts is a group of retail professionals that creates and develops retail business opportunities through concept development, brand and company names, assortment and style management, store design, fittings and locations, and communication. They are currently working on several projects including a modern restaurant chain, furniture retail chain, and store concepts for compact living.
The document discusses different perspectives on the threat of cyberterrorism. It explores what cyberterrorism means, who the main perpetrators may be, and how countries can prevent attacks. While some see al-Qaeda as the primary threat, others argue that China poses a greater risk as it becomes more powerful and seeks to surpass the US. The document warns that cyberterrorism could become a serious global threat in the future as critical infrastructure and information systems become more connected and vulnerable to attacks.
Smoking in public places can negatively impact those who do not smoke through secondhand smoke exposure. Secondhand smoke contains over 7,000 chemicals, many of which are carcinogenic. Exposure to secondhand smoke has been linked to various health conditions like heart disease, lung cancer, and asthma attacks. Many communities have implemented restrictions to protect citizens from secondhand smoke in public places like restaurants, parks, and buildings. However, more regulations may still be needed to achieve truly smoke-free environments for all.
Al Qaeda is a global militant Islamist organization founded in 1988 by Osama Bin Laden. Its origins stem from Arab fighters opposing the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. Al Qaeda's goal is to establish Islamic rule across Muslim lands and oppose non-Islamic influence. It functions through a leadership council that oversees committees on military, religious, media, and financial matters. Major terrorist attacks include the 1998 US embassy bombings and the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States. While weakened over time, Al Qaeda's ideology of global jihad remains influential.

Sec4 express chapter1(managing peace and security)_transnational_terrorismAdrian Peeris
The document discusses transnational terrorism as a new challenge to international peace and security. Transnational terrorism involves violence by internationally-linked groups across multiple countries to achieve political goals. Unlike conventional terrorism aimed at a single nation, transnational terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda plan coordinated mass attacks across international borders. While regional and international efforts have had some success, transnational terrorist organizations still operate by evading security measures and spreading radical ideologies online. Comprehensive measures are needed at all levels to counter the threats posed by transnational terrorism.
This document discusses terrorism trends a decade after 9/11. While Al Qaeda has been weakened by counterterrorism efforts, it still poses a threat through regional affiliates and inspired individuals. Jemaah Islamiyah in Southeast Asia has also been disrupted but some members remain active. Al Qaeda and JI influences have reached the Philippines through links to groups like the Abu Sayyaf Group and Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Movement, complicating security issues in the region. Ongoing radicalization efforts mean these groups may continue to evolve new tactics, requiring sustained counterterrorism responses.
This document provides an introduction and overview of antiterrorism Level I training. It discusses the terrorist threat environment and factors to consider, the terrorist planning cycle, force protection conditions, and introduces the four key antiterrorism themes of anticipate, be vigilant, don't be a target, and respond and report. The goal is to educate individuals on how to enhance personal security and antiterrorism awareness.
The document discusses state and non-state terrorism. It defines terrorism as violent and premeditated attacks against political, economic, or civilian targets intended to spread fear and achieve a political goal, such as the September 11th attacks. State terrorism refers to violence committed by governments against domestic or foreign enemies. The causes of terrorism include historical grievances, poverty, oppression, ideology, and religion. Groups use terrorism because they believe violence can create political change. Terrorism represents asymmetric warfare for weaker groups against stronger states.

Terrorism
Terrorist groups carry out acts of terror that seek to intimidate the people and the governments. Over the years, terrorist groups have carried out terrorist activities that have largely undermined humanity and caused losses in millions of dollars. Governments have been working hard to combat terrorism and works in ensuring that the terrorist activities have been minimized. Despite the efforts of different governments on combating terrorism, the terrorists have continued to perform their terrorist activities, which raise questions on the most effective strategies that need to be applied in ensuring that terrorism has been completely eliminated. The AL-Qaeda and the ISIS are some of the two common terrorist groups whose terrorist activities have largely degraded humanity. The aim of this paper is to describe the similarities and differences between the al-Qaeda and ISIS in providing insightful information on what really drives the inhuman activities by the terrorist groups.
ISIS
The Islamic State of Iraq (ISIS) is a terrorist group that has been carrying out terrorist activities over the years. The ISIS is believed to have started in 1999 and ascribes to the Sunni Islam. The ISIS is believed to promote religious violence where the individuals who do not ascribe to their religious beliefs and practices are considered infidels. The group is believed to have gained its ground after the invasion of Iraq by the US and claims to have military and political authority over all other Muslim states across the world. Despite its claims, the UN and the US government have condemned its attacks and rejected its authority over other Muslim states (Agnew, 2010).
Al-Qaida
The al-Qaida or ‘The Base’ as it is usually translated is a terrorist organization that ascribes to the Sunni Muslims. The group was founded in 1988 by Osama bin Laden and other volunteers during the war between Soviet Union and Afghanistan. The al-Qaida is considered as among the largest terrorist groups since it operates network of Islamic extremists. Before his death in 2011, Osama bin Laden had organized the group into one large organization whose aim was to provoke the US and any other country that supports the US. After his death, the group was led by Ayman al-Zawahiri who continued with the ideologies that were being held by Osama bin Laden. The terrorist believes that continued attacks on the US and its allies will lead to the collapse of the Use economy by 2020, which will largely affect the world economy. Once the world economy is affected, the al-Qaeda will become powerful and control the world. The Al-Qaeda major goal is to control the world by installing Wahhabu Caliphate (Agnew, 2010).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
