One international terrorist organization likely to conduct a terrorist attack in the United States is the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, also known as ISIL or ISIS. ISIS isn’t just an organization likely to conduct a terrorist attack in the United States, but a terrorist organization who has already done so and won’t continue to stop. It seems recently that ISIS has been claiming public attacks and attack attempts. For example, just recently a terrorist attack was thwarted on a train to Paris, where military members stopped a gunman before they were able to kill anyone. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has been around since approximately 2004 and has gone by many other names since then. ISIS is a well-organized group and uses …show more content…
When I refer to federal investigators, I am referring to members of the intelligence community who could be potentially tasked with obtaining information on ISIS. Not all agencies of the intelligence community are good collectors of intelligence, the following agencies that are best suited are: Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Treasury, Department of Defense (Military Agencies), Defense Intelligence Agency, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, National Reconnaissance Office, and National Security Agency. Once intelligence is received there are a few ways you can analyze the information. However, the techniques you used are based on the situation and the analyst who is dealing with the information. There are three groups of techniques, all with a few sub techniques in them, those are: diagnostic, contrarian, and imaginative …show more content…
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant are more commonly known to the public as ISIS, they also referred to ISIS by media corporations as well. ISIS has combined with a few terrorist groups in the past but has also not made friends with other groups. “Finally, in April 2013, the leader of the ISI, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, announced in an audio message that his group merged with Jabhat al-Nusra (JN) in Syria to form the “Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham.””(Price, 2014). It was also noted in the same article that because they merged with another group that it did not sit well with other people and groups. ISIS appears to have a history with groups coming and going into the mix. While it’s not very known what their ideology is, you can very well establish your own perception based off their actions. Just based off incidents I have seen in the past and recently, they are very violent and will attack anyone who isn’t on their side from civilians to military personnel. “ISIL’s goal is to solidify and expand its control of territory and govern by implementing its violent interpretation of sharia law. The group aspires to overthrow governments in the
Al Qaeda was founded in 1988 by the most wanted terrorist in America, Osama Bin Laden, to bring together Arabs who fought in Afghanistan against the Soviet Invasion. Al Qaeda works with allied Islamic extremist groups to take over regimes it deems "non-Islamic" and remove Westerners from Muslin countries. The organization first began with three members and now there are approximately 200 to 1,000 current members. Al-Qaeda began to construct and offer training camps and guesthouses to its recruits; while they also attempted to pull in U.S. citizens for financial, communication, and operation reasons for the benefit of Al-Qaeda and its other affiliations. By 1990 Al-Qaeda was providing military and intelligence training in various areas including Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Sudan.

The ISIS Yazidi Women Abductions are a very important topic to address at this point in time. The Yazidi people have been persecuted based on the beliefs in a benevolent peacock angel (Melek Taus) which contains elements of Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Islam. ISIL views this peacock angel as a malevolent archangel Lucifer or more commonly known as Satan. Under the Islamic Law observed by ISIS, Yazidis are officially given an opportunity to convert to Sunni Islam or be put to death. This has led to the exile, abduction and unfortunate massacres of at least 5,000 Yazidi men, women, and children. This is a crucial issue to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland because
In addition to Afghan mujahidin, people fro other Muslim countries volunteered and one of the prominent figures was Osama bin Laden who came from Saudi Arabia to join mujahidin and fight against the Soviets. Also, fighters from Chechnya rushed to join the Mujahidin movements, the Soviets were officially atheists and detrimental to the Islam at large. The mountainous terrains of Afghanistan, the ethnic and linguistic differences among the mujahidin faction made it difficult for the groups to cooperate. However, by 1985 the corporation between the resistance groups improved and a network of alliance was created the Seven Party Mujahidin Alliance of Peshware Seven. Some of the prominate of the mujahidin commanders was Ahmed Shah Massoud, who was assassinated by the Taliban in 2001.
Al-Qaeda is a Sunni sunni Islamistislamist organization that was founded by Osama bin Laden. They have made an impact on many parts of the world. Impacts that would cause casualties that is. Just three organizations Al-Qaeda is tied to are the Haqqani, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and the Taliban. Although Al-Qaeda has few agents left in Afghanistan they still managed and manage to cause devastating acts of violence. One of the ways they were and still are able to make such an impact is by working with other organizations with similar views for their ideal future.

ISIS stands for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. It is referred as a terrorist group by the United States, whereas ISIS considers themselves to be an army instead. ISIS has been responsible for many gruesome attacks all over the world one of them being the execution of Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh. They originated from Al-Qaeda in Iraq but they had big ambitions by kicking America out and setting up an Islamic state. To this date hold their land there unlike other groups like Al-Qaeda and Taliban. They have a huge support from people as their count being over 30,000 soldiers and followers. They are heavily armed, can fund themselves, have an organized infrastructure, and can cause a lot of damage. Later in 2006, their brutality lost them the support of Iraqi Sunnis who partnered with US forces to help push them out of the country. And for this incident, America takes a lot of credit for this and call it the Surge in which they helped Sunnis rise up against Al-Qaeda in Iraq’s rule. This led to Al-Qaeda in Iraq being defeated but not destroyed by only being driven out of the land they used to control and later they began rebuilding themselves by being involved in the fighting in Syria as they were trying to throw the Shiite Assad regime. Due to their brutal and severe tactics, Al-Qaeda disavowed Al-Qaeda in Iraq. Later in February 2014, the group Al-Qaeda in Iraq
Osama bin Laden, son of a wealthy Saudi contractor, joined many young Arab men of his generation in Afghanistan. While he appears to have played a very minor role in the fighting, his wealth enabled him to recruit, train, and supply fighters for the insurgency. It was founded in Afghanistan. America started to support israel against palestine which made al qaeda mad and wanted to fight back against the US which lead to the truck bombing in 1993.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the result of an external force against the head that causes displacement of the cranial structures, either through impact with an object or through acceleration and deceleration. TBI is not isolated to a single ethnic group, socioeconomic class, or region (Berquist et al., 2009; Jang et al., 2013). In 2002, the United States had the highest incidence of reported TBI cases of any developed country. The incidence of hospital admissions due to closed head injuries in the United States was estimated to be approximately 200 per 100,000 people, and the number of penetrating head injuries was estimated to be 12 per 100,000—approximately 500,000 new cases in total.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, two in five assaults reported to Australian police in 2016, were domestic violence related. However, it is not merely the prevalence of initial acts of domestic violence in society, but their repetition, that renders bodies in place to combat domestic violence, inadequate. By utilising a distributive lens and analysing victims’ access to justice and the uneven distribution of resources, including wealth and power, the prevalence of domestic violence within society can be explained and combatted. Additionally, arguments against these ideas can be refuted. Distributive justice aims to equally disperse resources among members of society, which can be maximised through an egalitarian approach.
