Global Terrorism
First released in early
2001, and revised following the events of
September 11, 2001, this course provides a
comprehensive knowledge of the terrorism
phenomenon throughout history, culminating
in the present threat posed by transnational
terrorism. Its scope is the widest possible
and includes transnational, international
and domestic terrorism; terrorist groups;
lone terrorists; different forms of
historical terrorism; tactics and strategies
such as kill-zones and choke-points;
logistics; the terrorist armory of weapons
and their effects; sponsorship, including
political and religious support; terrorism
in the context of guerrilla warfare,
criminal assault, and acts of war; the
terrorism-media relationship; anti- and
counter-terrorism; and the systematic
eradication of terrorism vis à vis emergency
suppression. Motives, victims, targets and
types of leadership are also among the many
topics covered in this richly illustrated
course, and a broad range of nineteen
relevant annexes includes a catalogue of
major attacks spanning many years; a
glossary of related terrorism, police,
security and intelligence terms; and a brief
profile-table of several hundred terrorist
groups. Major case studies and historical
terrorist attack briefs are also included in
the course material, which was mentioned by
the UN Secretary-General in his report (UN
GA Report A/55/179) to 185 Ambassadors at
the UN General Assembly as one of the
training measures to suppress terrorism.
Twelve lessons, 552 pages.
