Transnational Terrorism
For this assignment, write an essay that must be at least 500 words in length that discusses the affiliations between domestic terrorists and transnational terrorists. A point to consider is how the threats have migrated outside of Al-Qaeda and the nations of Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, and Somalia.
Traditionally, transnational terrorism groups are classified as heterogeneous groups, foreign fighters, and suicide bombers. Pick at least one terrorist group that fits the classification of transnational terrorism. Conduct research to provide an overview on the affiliations between your chosen group and domestic terrorist groups. How do these affiliations between your chosen terrorist groups relate to the various types of terrorist cells, the chain network, and terrorist organization models? You must use at least two sources in addition to the textbook.
Pick at least one terrorist group that fits the definition of “transnational terrorism.” Do some research to get a general idea of how your chosen group is connected to domestic terrorist groups. How do these ties between the terrorist groups you chose fit into the models of the different types of terrorist cells, the chain network, and terrorist organizations? Besides the textbook, you must use at least two other sources.
Please be sure to use headings and subheadings, as needed, to organize your paper and viewpoints. Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed. The title and reference page do not count towards the minimum word length requirements.
