Update & Perspective; Onging Insurgency in Latin America:
A Review and Perspective Concerning Emerging Tactical and Strategic Developments – Summer/Fall, 2010
The panel discussion concluded that while Al-Qaeda lost its base in Afghanistan, it remains capable of regenerating and poses a continued threat. To counter this threat, the US must improve intelligence capabilities to track Al-Qaeda's efforts to find new bases and rebuild. Better coordination is also needed between intelligence agencies to disrupt terrorist financing networks. The panel agreed that threats have changed and now include the potential for mass casualty attacks using weapons of mass destruction, as well as threats from citizens and residents rather than just foreigners. Improved intelligence focusing on these new threats will be key to developing a strategy to destroy Al-Qaeda's reorganization efforts.

This document discusses the nexus between terrorism, organized crime, and migration in Europe and Southeast Asia. It explores how terrorist organizations have worked with criminal groups through activities like drug and human trafficking, and how conflict zones provide opportunities for cross-border crime. Recent irregular migration flows into Europe have added to this nexus, as criminal groups exploit migrants while some speculate that terrorists may use traffickers to enter Western countries. The document examines the crime-terror continuum and how relationships between these groups can range from strategic alliances to complete convergence, with some adopting each other's tactics, collaborating, or even transforming their goals. Common factors that can foster links between criminals and terrorists include seeking resources to fill funding shortfalls, taking advantage of
Drug Trafficking & Terrorism in Latin America and Asiaiakovosal

This document analyzes and compares three prominent terrorist organizations - Hamas, Hezbollah, and Al Qaeda - to determine which poses the greatest threat to domestic security in the United States. It provides a brief history and overview of each group, including their ideologies, leadership structures, bases of operations, and sources of funding. Hamas operates mainly in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank, using violence to pursue Palestinian nationalism and the expulsion of Israelis. Hezbollah emerged in Lebanon during its civil war and now combines political and social work with military resistance, receiving funds from Iran. Al Qaeda is a global Sunni jihadist network founded by Osama bin Laden to attack Western interests and societies.

The document summarizes criticism of a Department of Homeland Security report that targets right-wing extremism. The DHS report warns that right-wing extremists could recruit veterans and carry out violent attacks. However, the DHS report provides no concrete evidence and broadly defines terms like "right-wing" to demonize millions of law-abiding Americans. The document argues the DHS report infringes on civil liberties and aims to criminalize political dissent.

This document provides a summary of a field analysis report assessing the influence and perceived legitimacy of ISIL in the United States from a state and local perspective. Key findings include:
1) There was an increased volume of ISIL-related suspicious activity reports between June 2014 and January 2015, signifying greater recognition of ISIL after its declaration of a caliphate and use of social media.
2) ISIL's messaging is resonating with US violent extremists due to its promotion of establishing a caliphate and portraying attacks in the West as defensive, in contrast to al-Qaeda's priorities.
3) Ongoing ISIL military successes and messaging will likely sustain a high volume of suspicious activity

This document summarizes research on terrorism movements in Latin America, specifically focusing on the links between Hezbollah, Iran, and terrorist groups like the FARC in Colombia. It discusses how Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela have formed an alliance to coordinate support for these terrorist groups against US foreign policy. The document analyzes the history and activities of groups like Hezbollah, FARC, and the ALBA countries, and argues they pose a threat to stability in the region due to ties to drug trafficking and state sponsors of terrorism like Iran.
This document discusses the causes and history of terrorism. It begins by defining terrorism and tracing its origins and original meaning. It then examines different perspectives on how terrorists should be classified and treated. The document then explores five main drivers of terrorism: 1) ethno-nationalism, 2) alienation and discrimination, 3) religion, 4) socio-economic factors, and 5) political grievances. For each cause, it provides historical examples and explains how the cause can contribute to radicalization and terrorist activities.
This document explores the formation and goals of the Islamic State (IS). It discusses how IS arose from the instability in Iraq and Syria following the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq. IS gained strength by recruiting former Iraqi military officers disaffected by the Shi'a-led government's treatment of Sunnis. The document examines how IS uses terrorist tactics to achieve political goals like territorial expansion and the establishment of an extremist Islamic state. It analyzes debates around defining terrorism and categorizes IS as a religiously-motivated terrorist group. The summary provides background on IS and outlines its origins and objectives.
What is iran doing in iraq how important is iran in the ground war against isismmangusta
Iran is playing a major role in fighting ISIS in Iraq by supporting Shiite militias and working directly with Iraqi security forces. It is seeking to prevent ISIS and other Sunni extremist groups from taking power in Iraq, maintain Shiite political dominance, and demonstrate its importance in the region. While both the US and Iran want to preserve Iraq's territorial integrity and defeat ISIS, they have different goals in Syria and approaches to addressing Sunni grievances that complicate their strategies.
Assessing ISIS: Success or Failure of Islamist Insurgenciesinventionjournals
Assessing the current and long-term success of the Islamist insurgent group, the “Islamic State” (hereafter “ISIS”), requires not only identifying prerequisites for conducting insurgency but also assessing the group’s ability to attain the goals proclaimed by its ideology or program. Such success or failure can be determined by a systematic comparison with other Islamist insurgent groups which have either failed or succeeded in achieving their stated objectives. Examining the historical and theological backgrounds of movements, such as al Qaeda and Hezbollah, reveals that success requires having visible leadership openly controlling a territory and providing security and social services to its population. The importance of territorial control, a social-political infrastructure, and external legitimation is demonstrated by the relative success of groups enjoying Iranian support, such as Hezbollah, over Islamist groups following the non-state strategy of al Qaeda. ISIS has a visible leadership openly controlling a territory and providing at least minimal security and social services to its population but lacking belligerent status and having rejected alliances with like-minded Salafist groups sharing most of its goals. Another essential but often overlooked condition for success for militant Islamist movements is the endorsement of the traditional Muslim Ulema as guardians of the Islamic faith.
Terrorism aims to create widespread fear and gain attention through violence targeting civilians. Groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda receive weapons and funding from foreign governments like the US and Saudi Arabia to further political aims. Social media is used extensively by terrorist groups to recruit members and spread their brand. Training camps help terrorists develop new skills and some groups act as consultants carrying out attacks for other organizations. Ultimately, meddling by foreign powers in Middle Eastern countries contributed to the rise of terrorist groups by destabilizing the region and exacerbating sectarian tensions.
The Moral Questions on the Religious Basis for Terrorisminventionjournals
Terrorism has been informed and propelled by many factors such as tribal, political, religious and many other factors but experience has shown that religious factor has been a key factor for terrorism; sometimes, it is used to champion other courses which may be political or tribal. Religious terrorism is the justifiability of terror acts on the ground that such an act is sanctioned by a deity; thus, adherents are called to even kill in order to defend their faith. Religious motivated terrorism (e. g., Joshua conquest of the Canaanites in the Old Testament, ISIS terrorist attacks, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Boko-Haram in Nigeria etc.) is said to be the deadliest of all other kinds of terrorism. Looking at the religious basis for terrorism, one is poised to raise some moral questions such as: are there ethical justifications for religious terrorism? Is religion the bedrock for morality or vice versa? Since God has reason for all His actions, can He ever sanction the killing of His creatures for His delight? What is the moral undertone of martyrdom? Etc. This research considers these questions and more thereby unveiling a possible moral condemnation of religious basis for terrorism.
1) The document discusses the evolving threat of global terrorism and the importance of the US-Japan counterterrorism alliance. Terrorist groups like al Qaeda and ISIS have established regional networks and use social media to spread their message and recruit followers.
2) Japan faces both regional terrorist threats from groups in Southeast Asia with ties to al Qaeda and ISIS, and risks to its international assets and citizens given its role in the global economy. Japanese journalists have been kidnapped and killed by ISIS militants.
3) Cooperating closely with allies like the US through intelligence sharing and capacity building is crucial for Japan to address terrorist threats, but Japan also has an opportunity to play a more active regional and international role in counterterrorism
The document discusses the historical roots and evolution of terrorism over time. It traces terrorism back to secret killings against tyrants in ancient times. Modern terrorism emerged during the French Revolution. Nationalist and anarchist groups in the 19th century used terrorist tactics. More recently, terrorism has taken on a religious character, especially from Islamic extremist groups. The document also examines the structures, organizations, and goals of various global and local terrorist groups operating today.
The document discusses different types of terrorism and provides details about a specific terrorist attack in Mumbai, India in 2008. It defines terrorism and separates terrorist groups into categories such as separatist, ethnocentric, nationalistic, revolutionary, political, religious, social, domestic, international, and transnational. It then provides details about the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks, where 10 terrorists conducted a series of coordinated shootings and bombings over 4 days, killing over 170 people. It mentions some of the heroes who died responding to the attacks, including police officers Vijay Salaskar and Ashok Kamte.
The document discusses definitions of terrorism from different perspectives. It begins by outlining the main audiences for the term - FBI intelligence agents, law enforcement agencies, and everyday citizens. It then provides an informal definition of terrorism as extremists targeting others with different beliefs, and a formal definition as criminals targeting a class of individuals. The document traces the origins of the term "terrorism" from Latin and outlines some key historical events that shaped its meaning, including actions by Robespierre in France and Nazi Germany. Finally, it provides definitions used by the US Department of Defense and FBI and notes that understanding of terrorism continues to evolve over time and has many audiences depending on context.
The document summarizes the current US policy and alternatives for addressing the Islamic State (ISIS) militant group. The US is leading a coalition to degrade and destroy ISIS through military airstrikes against ISIS targets in Iraq and Syria, training and equipping Iraqi and Kurdish forces, and disrupting ISIS's financing. However, the Obama administration refuses to coordinate with the Syrian regime. The US has conducted over 2,000 airstrikes and deployed 3,100 military personnel to train Iraqi forces. It is also providing weapons and aid to Kurdish peshmerga forces. The goal is to support local forces in retaking ISIS-controlled territory and limiting the group's resources and ability to operate
Post Boko Haram Insurgency and Trafficking of IDPS in the Northeastern Nigeri...ijtsrd
This article is designed to investigate the consequences and solutions of the trafficking of IDPs in the post Boko Haram period in the North eastern Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study are to determine the extent of human trafficking among IDPs in the North eastern Nigeria to find out if Boko Haram insurgency has increased human trafficking to examine the consequences of human trafficking among Boko Haram driven IDPs in the study area and to provide the possible solutions to human trafficking of IDPs. The article found out that the extent of human trafficking among IDPs is high in the study area and Boko Haram insurgency has contributed to that. The consequences of human trafficking among Boko Haram driven IDPs includes the involvement of some IDPs into Boko Haram through human trafficking sex slavery due to human trafficking human trafficking reduces the chances of their liberation from IDPs status dehumanisation and engagement of the IDPs into baby factory assault and even murder, bonded slavery and other psychological consequences like insomnia, lack of trust to strangers and post traumatic stress disorder, etc. As the possible solutions to human trafficking of IDPs in the North eastern Nigeria, therefore Boko Haram insurgency should be fought to prevent trafficking of IDPs, there should be special intervention for the IDPs as safety net there should be synergy between law enforcement agencies in fighting human trafficking community participation, community policing and contribution of neighbouring states Dr. Bukar Jamri "Post-Boko Haram Insurgency and Trafficking of IDPS in the Northeastern Nigeria: Consequences and Solutions" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-5 | Issue-4 , June 2021, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.compapers/ijtsrd42359.pdf Paper URL: https://www.ijtsrd.comother-scientific-research-area/other/42359/postboko-haram-insurgency-and-trafficking-of-idps-in-the-northeastern-nigeria-consequences-and-solutions/dr-bukar-jamri

It begins by providing context on the history of terrorism and its various waves. It then discusses Leon Festinger's cognitive dissonance theory, which posits that individuals resolve mental conflicts between beliefs and actions by reducing conflicting beliefs, increasing existing beliefs, or changing beliefs/actions.

It also discusses self-affirmation theory and how extremists use it to justify their beliefs even when given conflicting evidence of harm.

“These terrorists kill not merely to end lives, but to disrupt and end a way of life. With every atrocity, they hope that America grows fearful, retreating from the world and forsaking our friends. They stand against us, because we stand in their way.”
- President George Bush
What IS domestic terrorism?
Information gathered from James S. Albanese’s “The Encyclopedia of Criminology and Criminal Justice” highlights three of the most common forms of domestic terrorism:
1) Political
2) Ideological
3) Foreign Nationalist
The FBI defines domestic terrorism as “the unlawful use, or threatened use, of violence by a group or individual based and operating entirely within the United States (or its territories) without foreign direction, committed against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.”
Political Domestic Terrorism
The most common political acts of domestic terrorism stem from either far-left or far-right leaning factions. In the timespan between 1997 and August 2017 there were a total of 3,342 deaths due to domestic terrorism.
The graph below shows that right wing terrorism was the second deadliest cause of death by domestic terrorism, and that left-wing domestic terrorism claimed a total of 23 lives.
(Since the beginning of 2016 deaths caused by left-wing domestic terrorism overtook deaths caused by right-wing domestic terrorism.)
Left-Wing Domestic Terrorist Groups
ANTIFA
The Anti-Fascist (ANTIFA) movement is an anarchist militia group that was inspired by a World War II movement that resisted NAZI oppression.
Antifa history, beliefs, and activity.
The modern day ANTIFA movement has seen a dwindling amount of support from other slightly less aggressive leftist groups movements such as “Black Lives Matter” and tend to come into conflict with any group that they come across.
ANTIFA is classified as an anarchist movement that resurged in Europe in the 1960s before making its way to the United States in the 1970s. Its mission is based upon the belief that the repetition of Nazi occupation can only be prevented through active aggression. Over time, ANTIFA have broadened the definition of fascism to include anybody who either supports conservative political efforts, supports President Donald Trump, or both.
ANTIFA are known for violent, and often misguided, counter-protests that have even escalated to the point where they’ve assaulted themselves by mistake.
Often times police and other peacekeeping groups are targeted by ANTIFA while attempting to stem the violence between them and the groups that they counter-protest. ANTIFA counter-protests are notorious for physical violence, provocation, arrests, and damage to property as well as desecration of the American flag.
Violent acts committed by antifa
In January of 2017, Antifa members violently took to the st ...

The document discusses various forms of domestic terrorism in the United States, including political, ideological, and religiously-motivated terrorism. It provides examples of specific domestic terrorist groups from both the left wing (e.g. Antifa) and right wing (e.g. American Nazi Party). It also discusses terrorist attacks carried out by foreign nationalist groups on U.S. soil, such as the 9/11 attacks and Boston Marathon bombing. Finally, it outlines current efforts by the Department of Homeland Security to prevent future acts of domestic terrorism.
This document proposes alternative security solutions to using military force against terrorist groups in the Middle East. It suggests that [1] intelligence agencies should study ethnic and religious groups in local communities to understand their affiliations and develop a pressure map without using force. Suspected individuals could then be isolated and interrogated or oriented to other communities. [2] Multinational agencies should study the structures of international terrorist groups to reduce their funding and movements. [3] Hezbollah hides under different organizations in Lebanon and Iraq and uses irregular Masonic lodges and media like newspapers to pass messages and gather intelligence from local communities according to Iranian agendas. Going to a federal system in Arab countries may produce other forms of terrorism as reactions to
Islam is a religion of peace,but radicals have changed its preaching. Can one considered jihad as a just war? Since its inscribed in the Holy Koran.As such,this presentation give some of the reasons why a certain groups (mostly Muslims) have developed new ideologies.
The document discusses the tension between the right to protest and the right to protect during the 1960s civil rights movement. It describes how protest movements began small but grew rapidly, calling for peace, justice, freedom and equality. In response, the government aimed to isolate and neutralize protest leaders through tactics like COINTELPRO, which infiltrated and interfered with groups using surveillance, blackmail and other methods. It also discusses how the CIA illegally spied on protest groups through operations like CHAOS, creating files on thousands of individuals and groups. Both COINTELPRO and CIA operations expanded during this period before eventually being shut down due to threats of exposure and investigation in the early 1970s.
This document provides an overview of the historical origin and definitions of terrorism. It discusses:
- The earliest known terrorist groups dating back to 1st century AD Jewish groups.
- How the term "terrorism" originated during the French Revolution's Reign of Terror period.
- Definitions of terrorism from legislation in the UK, US, and Canada that involve use of violence for political, religious, or ideological goals.
- Challenges in defining terrorism given different perspectives on what constitutes justified vs unjustified violence.
- Types of terrorism like state-sponsored, bio-, and cyber-terrorism.
The document discusses China's growing military capabilities and its potential future relationship with the United States. It notes China has significantly modernized its military and increased spending, focusing on technologies like space weapons, submarines, and precision weapons. While conflict is not inevitable, the document asserts the possibility of strategic conflict between the US and China cannot be ruled out, especially given China's emphasis on asymmetric and hybrid warfare approaches. Whether China becomes a friend or foe to the US will depend on factors like economic ties and China's internal political and economic development.
Terrorism is evolving into smaller, more decentralized cells to carry out asymmetric warfare using unconventional tactics. Future conflicts will likely involve combating small terrorist units using weapons of mass destruction and sophisticated tactics. Additionally, terrorist groups may simultaneously attack critical infrastructure through cyber and physical means. To address this evolving threat, military strategies, training, and equipment must adapt from conventional warfare to asymmetric low-intensity conflicts involving terrorist and insurgent groups.
This report discusses the emerging threat posed by an alliance between Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and Al-Shabaab in Somalia. It summarizes intelligence suggesting that AQAP may send American jihadists recruited by Anwar al-Awlaki to attack the US, and that this threat could grow through cooperation with Al-Shabaab militants already in the US. The report also notes strategic concerns about potential AQAP and Al-Shabaab attacks disrupting shipping in the Gulf of Aden and the Suez Canal.
The document summarizes evidence of increasing ties between Islamic militant groups in Somalia, Yemen, and Al-Qaeda. New evidence shows ties between Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and Al-Shahbaab in Somalia. The document also discusses an attempted terrorist attack on a US airliner on Christmas Day 2009 and links between the attacker and Al-Qaeda operatives in Yemen. Analysis suggests links between Somali and Yemeni insurgents are growing and combined terrorist operations by these groups may occur or be underway.
North Korea fired artillery shells onto Yeonpyeong Island, a South Korean island near the maritime border, killing at least one South Korean soldier and injuring several others. South Korea responded by scrambling fighter jets and returning fire. The attack has increased tensions between the Koreas and prompted concerns about whether South Korea still has the support of its allies against North Korean aggression.
The document discusses improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and explosively formed penetrators (EFPs) that have been used in Iraq. It notes that General John Abizaid told Congress that Iran is pursuing a covert policy in Iraq to diminish support for US operations by providing sophisticated bomb-making materials found in IEDs. The document contains information about shaped charges and vehicle penetrators and provides contact information for the Emergency Response & Research Institute for any additional related topics.
The document discusses how Al-Qaeda has changed from a hierarchical organization directed from a central base, to a more decentralized structure. It has devolved into several "tracks" including main Al-Qaeda forces, designated organizations in different regions, financed groups, self-radicalized individuals and cells, and a hybrid mixture. This makes the group's order of battle, or organizational structure, more difficult to determine than when it was a centralized organization led by Bin Laden and Zawahiri.
The document discusses China's growing military capabilities and its potential to become a peer competitor to the United States. It notes that China has significantly modernized and reorganized its military forces over the past decades through large increases in defense spending. While China still lags behind the U.S. in some areas, it is focusing on developing technologies like space weapons, attack submarines, and precision weapons. The document warns that a strategic conflict between the U.S. and China is a real possibility that cannot be ruled out, especially over Taiwan, and discusses China's continuing modernization efforts.
The document discusses the threat of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) coming to America. It covers the nature of the problem, providing a general assessment of the threat. Specific topics discussed include suicide bombers, vehicle-borne IEDs (VBIEDs), and other considerations like the history and spread of attacks globally. The document aims to educate attendees on IED tactics used by terrorists to help prevent future attacks within the United States.
This document provides a summary of the global terrorism threat landscape according to the Emergency Response & Research Institute (ERRI). It finds that while core Al-Qaeda has been degraded, the threat has dispersed and decentralized into regional and local terrorist groups that continue to pose significant threats. Notable risks discussed include vehicle-borne bombs, assassination attacks, threats to aviation from man-portable missiles, dirty bombs using radioactive materials, and information operations by terrorist groups to influence populations. The analysis concludes certain high profile attacks are anticipated in the coming months, especially in Afghanistan, and threats will continue across multiple tactics unless ongoing counterterrorism efforts are further strengthened.
The document provides information on suicide/homicide bombings including identification of bombers, tactics, targets, and interdiction considerations. It notes bombers can be any age, gender, or appearance and use various disguises. Tactics discussed include secondary devices, the use of vehicles and bicycles, and targeting responders. Guidelines are presented for responding personnel including maintaining a safe perimeter and waiting for bomb squads to approach suspects.
Piracy off the coast of Somalia has increased dramatically in recent years, with pirates capturing cargo ships and demanding large ransoms. The pirates are believed to be mostly former fishermen who now operate speedboats launched from larger "mother ships." There is ongoing debate about the pirates' links to terrorist groups in Somalia and whether measures like armed private security guards or military intervention can effectively address the problem. The piracy is damaging to the shipping industry and some experts warn it could spread instability across East Africa if not contained.
The document summarizes a presentation given on chemical terrorism threats. It outlines the nature of unconventional threats facing the US including terrorist attacks and weapons of mass destruction. Specific case studies of chemical attacks are examined, from the Bhopal disaster to the Tokyo subway sarin gas attack. The document warns that improvised chemical devices and secondary weapons targeting first responders pose growing risks that require improved preparedness.

1. A Review and Perspective Concerning Emerging Tactical
and Strategic Developments – Summer, 2010
By C. L. Staten, National Security Analyst
Emergency Response & Research Institute (ERRI)
2. FARC National Liberation
Army
Los Zetas
Hezbollah
3. FARC and ELN were both founded in the 1960s,
after Colombia’s two main political parties ended
more than a decade of political violence and agreed
to share power. In 1963, students, Catholic radicals,
and left-wing intellectuals hoping to emulate Fidel
Castro’s communist revolution in Cuba founded
ELN. FARC formed in 1965, bringing together
communist militants and peasant self-defense
groups.

4. Shining Path (Span. Sendero Luminoso), Peruvian
Communist guerrilla force, officially the Communist party
of Peru. Founded in 1970 by Abimael Guzmán Reynoso as
an orthodox Marxist-Leninist offshoot of the Peruvian
Communist party, the Shining Path turned to terrorism in
1980. By the mid-1980s it had several thousand guerrillas,
largely in rural Peru.
The group began urban terrorism in the late 1980s. In 1992
President Fujimori instituted martial law, and the
subsequent capture and life sentence of Guzmán and the
jailing of most the organization's central committee
diminished their guerrilla raids and largely ended any
serious threat to the government. The group persisted,
however, continuing its attacks on a smaller scale, and has
experienced a resurgence in growth since 2007, when it
became involved in protecting the illegal cocaine trade.
5. Hezbollah is a Shiite Islamic organization with it’s
main leadership in Lebanon. Hezbollah, earlier, was a
combination of multiple violent Shi'a extremist groups
who were assimilated into the larger Hezbollah. These
smaller groups included names like Islamic Jihad,
Organization of the Oppressed on Earth and the
Revolutionary Justice Organization.
Beginning in the late 80’s and early 90’s, various
Islamic organizations (including Hezbollah) reportedly
began infiltrating into Latin American countries…
either covertly or overtly. In the current day, Iranian
proxies (including Hezbollah) are reportedly openly
operating in places like Venezuela and in the “tri-
border area” of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay (see next
slide)
The Hezbollah connection was made particularly
evident during the July 18, 1994, attack on the AMIA
Jewish community center in Buenos Aires. Hezbollah
(and Iran) was officially blamed for the attack, which
killed 87 people and wounded at least 100 others.
6. The Tri-Border Area (TBA) between
Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil is
primarily comprised of three cities:
Puerto Iguazu (Argentina), Ciudad
del Este (Paraguay), and Foz do
Iguacu (Brazil).
The area is well known as a haven
for illicit activities ranging from
counterfeiting to intellectual
property theft to money laundering,
and has been pointed to as a central
point for the laundering of funds
from drug trafficking and for the
funding of terrorist organizations
(believed to come from supporters
within the large Arab population in
the region
7. While terrorist groups remain the central structural unit in international
terrorism, terrorist groups today are better described as networked groups
tied together by individual relationships than as clearly defined
organizations that are structured and discrete. The relationships between
individual terrorists affiliated with different groups are paramount,
especially when operating within diaspora communities in places like
Europe and the United States.
This cooperation and cross-pollination facilitates cooperation among
groups, including operational cooperation but far more often
interconnectivity at the logistical and financial support levels.
Such links exist even between groups that do not share similar ideologies,
leading to cooperation between religious zealots and secular radicals;
between ideologically- or theologically-driven terrorists and criminal
entities (as has been the case in several terrorist attacks in Iraq, where
criminal elements played critical roles in return for monetary
compensation); between Sunni and Shi’a groups; and between individuals
whose person-to-person contacts require no agreement between their
respective headquarters.
8. ERRI Observations, Indicators and Warnings
ERRI analysts say that they fear
that “narco-terrorists” of the
cartels, many of whom are also
extreme leftists, will combine
forces with the Islamic radicals to
target America and her allies in
that region.
Such an insurgency…fueled by
drug money and equipped with
modern “black-market” military
weapons…obtained through
Hezbollah/Hamas/Iran, could
pose a more significant threat to
the U.S. and her friends in Latin
American.
Moreover, Iranian/Hezbollah
trainers will undoubtedly bring
new and more dangerous
weapons and tactics to the drug
cartels…all likely to escalate
conflicts already underway in
Mexico and elsewhere.
