In simpler terms, meaning that the state is using and supporting its terrorist groups to gain knowledge about something that could help or protect their political agenda. In example, it is believed that a lot of state-sponsored terrorism actively played a role in the Iran government when it was accused of supporting Shia militias in Iraq during its recent war with the United States under George W. Bush’s presidency. The United States was also accused of state-sponsored terrorism when they were in support of Cuban

I learned various forms, perspectives, and policies pertaining to terrorism in this course. Some of the statistics about counter-terrorism, the source of terrorists, and the background of terrorist were expected. I expected terrorist to come from unstable homes. I even expected terrorist groups to be led by the upper middle class because of education and resources availability. The most unexpected information I learned in this course was how terrorist groups end. The government, as part of the War on Terror, makes it seem like the military is the most important aspect of ending a terrorist group. Our nation spends billions of dollars on the multiple branches of the military. Various resources, funds, time and agencies are utilized in the pursuit of counter-terrorism. Finding out that local policing and change in politics are the two top ways terrorist groups end was shocking. This was shocking because every time a successful counter-terrorism attack

This paper will investigate the intelligence gathering and counterterrorism measures undergone after the 1998 bombings leading up to the 2013 Mall shootings to determine the effectiveness of the measures, and analyze the underlying structural impediments to counterterrorism and intelligence, the inherent challenges, and opportunities An analysis of why Kenya continues to suffer sporadic attacks will follow, and recommendations on what additional intelligence reform measures can be taken will be included in this report. The paper’s main finding is that while Kenya has done a moderately successful job of enacting policy reforms that strike an acceptable balance between civil liberties and public security, it has significant improvements to make in the intelligence gathering area, and it also has not adequately addressed the issue of inequality that lead to disenfranchisement and radicalization of educated and uneducated youth and the unemployed. It therefore requires further changes in order to handle the long-term threat of terrorism.

One of the attackers reportedly shouted and identified himself as a Muslim while asking the four Chrisians about their religion. Four other men joined him in the assault, the report details.

In the fight against global terrorism, the United States has emerged as the leader in the fight against transnational terrorism due to its standing as world’s lone superpower and the fact big target for attacks by terrorist groups. However, with that being said as powerful as the United States is and with as many resources that it has at its disposal it to fight terrorism it still needs help from others. Nation states that are in regions were terrorists wreak or have terrorist activity within their own borders are in a situation in which they would be able to help the United States in a substantial way by providing a great deal of information and partnering up with the United States in the fight against terrorism. However, there are nations
