The closest the international commu- nity has come with regards to a consensus on a definition of terrorism is the one found in the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism (1999). It makes it illegal for a person to provide or collect funds to be used in prosecution of any of the international con- ventions pertaining to specific terrorist attacks (hijacking and so forth) as well as “Any other act intended to cause death or serious bodily injury to a civilian, or to any person not taking any active part in the hostili- ties in a situation of armed conflict, when the purpose of such act, by its nature or context, is to intimidate a population, or to compel a govern- ment or an international organization to do or to abstain from doing an act.” Paul Allan Schott, Reference Guide to Anti-Money Laundering and 170 Notes Combating the Financing of Terrorism, 2nd ed.

Ibid., 7. 10. Title 22 of the US Code, Section 2656f(d) defines terrorism as “pre- meditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncom- batant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience.” This definition is contained in Title 22 of the US Code, Section 2656f(d). Paul R. Pillar, Terrorism and U.S. Foreign Policy (Washington, DC: Brookings Institution Press, 2003), 13. The first difference between my definition and that of the original is the addition of the word “individuals.” Its inclusion is explained in the following paragraphs. The second change is that this book will not consider acts committed by clandestine agents of a state to be terrorist attacks. Instead, I restrict the definition to only encompass nonstate actors. 11. Ibid. 12. Bard E. O’Neill, Insurgency and Terrorism: From Revolution to Apocalypse, 2 ed.

Jessica Stern, “The Protean Enemy,” Foreign Affairs 82, no. 4 (2003): 34. Language has been added to some aspects of U.S. Law stat- ing that terrorism can be conducted by individuals, but the State Department definition has not changed. For example, Section 6001 of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, PL 108–458 amended the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to add the category of a lone wolf to its statutes. According to this law, a lone wolf is “a non-United States person who engaged in international terrorism or activities in preparation for international terrorism.” Elizabeth B.

Not all terrorist groups necessarily seek to establish themselves over the long run. For example, the perpetrators of the London subway bomb- ings in 2005 only intended to organize themselves for that one suicide mission. In such cases, obviously, long-term resourcing support will not be sought. 24. These four categories are based upon a five-category classification of capability created by RAND.

Situations where a terrorist organiza- tion is able to compel compliance from a population in a failing of col- lapsed state will generally fall under the category of shell state, though in rare circumstances, it could also be the case of a state sponsoring group. 26. The most integrated are state-proxies, which are state agencies and clan- destine agents conducting attacks on behalf of that state. Because these attacks are carried out clandestinely by government personnel, they are probably best considered as a type of special operations, a more tradi- tional military operation that is beyond the scope of this book. 27.

On August 11, 2001, three PIRA members, James Monaghan, Martin McCauley and Neill Connolly, were arrested in Bogata, Colombia with 172 Notes false passports and traces of explosives in their belongings. They were charged by Colombia with training FARC. James “Mortar” Monaghan is believed to have designed the PIRA homemade mortar, and McCauley and Connolly are believed to be some of PIRA’s best explosives experts. Neither Sinn Fein nor PIRA have admitted that the three individuals were sent to Colombia to train the FARC. After the capture of the PIRA members, FARC tactics, especially those involving urban war- fare, improved markedly, including the use of car bombs, secondary devices (explosive devices used to ambush responding personnel) and longer range mobile mortars, all which bore striking similarities to PIRA weapons and tactics.

For instance, Islamist fighters in Chechnya reportedly provide no death benefits to the families of their suicide bombers. Napoleoni, Terror Incorporated, 185. 5. For example, al Qaeda members were paid salaries of 500–1200 USD per month while located in Sudan. Such a salary was substantial in a country as poor as Sudan. The Irish Republican Army has reportedly paid £12,000 per year and higher to members to maintain the cease fire. Hizbullah, by its own accounting, provides aid to 1,284 families of Hizbullah members who were “martyrs” through their Philanthropic and Social Martyrs’ Institution.

  • The Irish Diaspora in Britain & America
    Reflections on 1969 Lived Experiences & Living history (Discussion 6) The Irish Diaspora in Britain & America: Benign or Malign Forces? compiled by Michael Hall ISLAND 123 PAMPHLETS 1 Published January 2020 by Island Publications 132 Serpentine Road, Newtownabbey BT36 7JQ © Michael Hall 2020 [email protected] http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/islandpublications The Fellowship of Messines Association gratefully acknowledge the assistance they have received from their supporting organisations Printed by Regency Press, Belfast 2 Introduction The Fellowship of Messines Association was formed in May 2002 by a diverse group of individuals from Loyalist, Republican and other backgrounds, united in their realisation of the need to confront sectarianism in our society as a necessary means of realistic peace-building. The project also engages young people and new citizens on themes of citizenship and cultural and political identity. Among the different programmes initiated by the Messines Project was a series of discussions entitled Reflections on 1969: Lived Experiences & Living History. These discussions were viewed as an opportunity for people to engage positively and constructively with each other in assisting the long overdue and necessary process of separating actual history from some of the myths that have proliferated in communities over the years. It was felt important that current and future generations should hear, and have access to, the testimonies and the reflections of former protagonists while these opportunities still exist. Access to such evidence would hopefully enable younger generations to evaluate for themselves the factuality of events, as opposed to some of the folklore that passes for history in contemporary society.

    DATED MATERIAL DATED ® —HIS EMINENCE, PATRICK CARDINAL O’DONNELL of Ireland Vol. LXXXIII No. 6 USPS 373340 December 2016 - January 2017 1.50 Hibernian Charity Board reorganized Joseph C. Casler Michael P. Joyce II Billy Lawless Joseph J. Norton, Ph.D. Brian O’Dwyer During the 2016 National Convention in Atlantic City, the general assembly authorized the National Board to reconstitute the National Hibernian Charity. The Hibernian Charity was organized years ago to raise money for the many charitable works of our National Order and was long overdue an update. The NHC was designated by the IRS, as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit corporation which provides an additional incentive for charitable donations. Donors to NHC may claim a tax deduction for their donations according to the law. As a tax-exempt non-profit corporation, NHC is also poised to compete for grants from the nation’s largest philanthropic foundations that restrict their gifts to only tax-exempt non-profit corporations. Pursuant to the charge of the general assembly, the National Board revised the Bylaws of the NHC Constitution to modern operations, conform to best business practices and permit NHC to effectively compete for grant funding. Patrick Sean Ryan Ted M. Sullivan John Patrick Walsh One of the Bylaws changes was to change the title of the Board of Directors to Board of Trustees. The National Board believes the title “Trustee” better conveys the fiduciary responsibility entrusted to Board members and will aide them in their mission. The Michael P. Joyce II, Austin, Texas. Mike is Vice President of Operations & Research purpose of this Board of Trustees is not only to administer funding to our many charities, for the Texas Business Leadership Council (TBLC) in Austin and has eight years of but to seek funds from the many philanthropic individuals and organizations across the experience in the non-profit sector.

  • Women Who Answered the Call 1916
    Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians: Remember the Women of 1916 LADIES ANCIENT ORDER OF HIBERNIANS "1 Introduction Over 200 women took an active role in the 1916 Easter Rising. The women participated at all the Garrisons except for Boland's Mill. The roles that the women took included serving as couriers, providing first aid and some in active military activities. Constance de Markievicz was second in Command at the College of Surgeons. Winifred Carney was armed with a typewriter and a weebly and was responsible for James Connolly's dispatches from the GPO. Elizabeth O'Farrell was entrusted with the surrender orders of Padraic Pearse to be delivered to the British and all the Garrisons. Dr. Kathleen Lynn served as a Captain and Chief Medical Officer in the Irish Citizens Army. Kathleen Clarke was a confidante to the Supreme Council of the Irish Republican Brotherhood who entrusted her with the plans for the Easter Rising and with reorganizing the republican movement if the rebellion failed. LADIES ANCIENT ORDER OF HIBERNIANS "2 Molly O'Reilly Molly O'Reilly was a young brave woman. She was chosen by James Connelly to raise the Green Harp Flag of Ireland over Liberty Hall. Molly first went to Liberty Hall to learn Irish Dancing. She heard Connolly speak and was inspired. During the Lock Out in 1913, she carried messages to the strikers from Connolly. After the Howth Gunrunning, she bravely hid under her bed some of the smuggled weapons. During the Rising, Molly served with the City Hall Garrison. She was a courier sending messages between City Hall and the GPO.
