  • (2008): Perspectives on Terrorism
    Table of Contents: Accounting For the Waves of International Terrorism ………….…...3 By Dipak K. Gupta Interpreting the PKK’s Signals in Europe…………………………...10 By Vera Eccarius-Kelly Review Essay: Top 50 Books on Terrorism and Counterterrorism…15 By Joshua Sinai PERSPECTIVES ON TERRORISM Volume II, Issue 11 Accounting For the Waves of International Terrorism By Dipak K. Gupta “Without the pen of Pain, the swords of Washington would have been wielded in vain.” - John Adams dvancements in sciences come through painstaking observations. Scientists’ astute observations of the seemingly chaotic world pave the way for what is known as “knowledge creep.” Terrorism research is certainly no exception to this rule. One of David Rapoport’s singular contributions to A our advancement of knowledge has been his articulation of the four waves of international terror- ism. Rapoport (2006:10) defines waves with three characteristics: a) a cycle of activities characterized by ex- pansion and contraction phases, b) covering multiple nations, and c) “driven by a common predominant energy that shapes the participating groups’ characteristics and mutual relationships.” By studying the history of ter- rorism since the 1880s, Professor Rapoport identifies four distinct waves fueled by common ideological fervor emanating from anarchism, anti-colonialism, socialism, and religious fundamentalism, respectively, with the first three waves lasting roughly 40 years each. Although the “wave” theory has gained a firm footing in the extant literature on terrorism (Sageman 2008a), to my knowledge, not much effort has gone into the examination of the causes of, and the process by which mega ideas saturate nearly every corner of the earth.

THREATS AGAINST AMERICA: THE SECOND CIRCUIT AS ARBITER OF NATIONAL SECURITY LAW David Raskin* INTRODUCTION For nearly 100 years, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has been a leading force in defining and resolving the uniquely thorny issues that arise at the intersection of individual liberty and national security. The court’s decisions in this arena are characterized by its willingness to tackle difficult questions and its skill in balancing the needs of the government with the rights of the accused to ensure fundamental fairness in the ages of espionage and terror. I. THE ESPIONAGE PROBLEM AND THE RISE OF THE COLD WAR STATE In 1917, soon after the United States entered World War I, Congress passed the Espionage Act.1 The new law strengthened existing prohibitions on actions harmful to the national defense and, most notably, authorized the death penalty for anyone convicted of sharing information with the intent to harm U.S.

    SCN Case Study: Recent Threats against the Jewish Community REPORT 003—November 23, 2005 ****************************************************************** Contents: Terrorism Arrests, Trials, and Indictments over the Past 12 Months United States 1 United States Canada 3 October 13, 2004 Ivan Duane Braden, a former National Guardsman discharged from an Iraq- bound unit after superiors noted signs of instability, is arrested after checking United 4 into a mental health facility and telling counselors about plans to blow up a Kingdom synagogue and a National Guard armory in Tennessee. The FBI reports that Braden told them he'd planned to go to a synagogue wearing a trench coat stuffed with explosives and get himself "as close to children and the rabbi as Australia 4 possible." October 25, 2004 FBI agents in Tennessee arrest farmhand Demetrius "Van" Crocker after he _______________ allegedly tried to purchase ingredients for deadly sarin nerve gas and C-4 plastic explosives from an undercover agent. The FBI alleges that Crocker, who local officials say was involved in a white supremacist group in the 1980s, tells the agent that he admires Hitler and hates Jews and the government. He allegedly also says "it would be a good thing if somebody could detonate some sort of weapon of mass destruction on Washington, D.C." Crocker is charged with trying to get explosives to destroy a building and other charges, and faces more than 20 years in prison if convicted. March 25, 2005 Congregation Micah in Brentwood Tennessee received an envelope with a white powdery substance and a threatening letter which also threatened other institutions in the area.

    CBRNE-Terrorism Newsletter (Vol 37 – 2009) 2 «Η Δημοκρατία μας αυτοκαταστρέφεται διότι κατεχράσθη το δικαίωμα της ελευθερίας και της ισότητας, διότι έμαθε τους πολίτες να θεωρούν την αυθάδεια ως δικαίωμα, την παρανομία ως ελευθερία, την αναίδεια του λόγου ως ισότητα και την αναρχία ως ευδαιμονία» Ισοκράτης (436 π.Χ-338 π.Χ.) ΠΑΝΔΗΜΙΑ ΓΡΙΠΗΣ ΜΕΞΙΚΟΥ Στις 30 Απριλίου 2009 ο Παγκόσμιος Οργανισμός Υγείας (WHO) ανέβασε την Κατάσταση Συναγερμού Πανδημίας (Pandemic Alert Status) στο Επίπεδο 5. Η μετάβαση από το ισχύον επί μακρόν Επίπεδο 4 στην παρούσα κατάσταση έγινε εντός μιας εβδομάδας λόγω της ταχύτατης εξάπλωσης της γρίπης των χοίρων (swine flu) που ξεκίνησε από το Μεξικό και διαδόθηκε αρχικά στις ΗΠΑ και Καναδά και στη συνέχεια σε όλες τις ηπείρους (18 χώρες μέχρι σήμερα). Πρόκειται για ιό που www.rieas.gr CBRNE-Terrorism Newsletter (Vol 37 – 2009) 3 παρεπιδημεί στους χοίρους αλλά φαίνεται ότι εξελίχθηκε περαιτέρω με προσθήκη γενετικού υλικού από το ανθρώπινο ιό της εποχικής γρίπης (seasonal flu) και το ιό της γρίπης των πτηνών (avian influenza). Μέχρι σήμερα ο ιός έχει προκαλέσει τον θάνατο άνω των 160 ατόμων στο Μεξικό και στις ΗΠΑ (1 θάνατος). Η πανδημία της Ισπανικής γρίπης (1918-19) είχε θνητότητα 2.5% αλλά προκάλεσε τον θάνατο δεκάδων εκατομμυρίων ατόμων καθώς διαδόθηκε με απίστευτους ρυθμούς. Η γρίπη των πτηνών προκάλεσε 257 θανάτους σε σύνολο 421 προσβληθέντων (θνητότητα 61%) ενώ το Σύνδρομο Σοβαρής Αναπνευστικής Ανεπάρκειας (SARS) που ξεκίνησε το 2003 από το Χονγκ-Κονγκ ευθύνεται για τον θάνατο 299 ατόμων σε σύνολο 1.755 προσβληθέντων (θνητότητα 17%). Το ανησυχητικό στην παρούσα πανδημία είναι ότι προσβάλλει άτομα ηλικίας 25 έως 45 ετών (χωρίς να διαφεύγει κάποια άλλη ηλικιακή ομάδα) σε αντιδιαστολή με την εποχική γρίπη που στοχεύει κατά κύριο λόγο πολύ νεαρά άτομα και ηλικιωμένους.

  • Militant Jihadism: Radicalization, Conversion, Recruitment
    Volume 2006-4 ITAC Presents ITAC CIEM Trends in Terrorism Series Militant Jihadism: Radicalization, Conversion, Recruitment This article is written by the Canadian Centre for Intelligence and Security Studies, The Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, Carleton University. Publication of this “ITAC Presents” article does not imply ITAC’s authentication of the information nor ITAC’s endorsement of the author’s views. Introduction Radical Islam poses many threats, only one of which is violent acts of global terrorism. There are radicals, for example, who advocate intensive religious discipline as the solution to Islam’s ills. This non-violent, personal strategy, based on strict and literal imitation of the life of the Prophet Mohammed, seeks the conversion of others through individual promotion of the dawa (the call to Islam). Radical Muslims, for whom the dawa is central, oppose The overwhelming the values and the political and economic power of the West, but instead of majority of radicals militant jihad (struggle), focus on peaceable means by which to restore the within the Islamist purity of Islam and achieve fundamental changes in society. Their goals are political spectrum no less radical than violent jihadis, but the means are different. Peaceful do not advocate political activism, grounded in religious principles, is another strategy violent jihad for redressing the declining power of the ummah (Muslim community). Jamal al-Din al-Afghani, a 19th-century Muslim revivalist, advocated a pan- Islamic movement of political solidarity to counter the values and domination of the West. The various strands and movements comprised by radical Islam share a common faith, but espouse different goals and means.
