ABSTRACT
Race alone is a poor individual identifier of a terrorist operative. Groups may adapt to security that targets suspect races by using operatives who are, or seem to be, of a different race. If security forces specifically seek and screen non-Caucasian men, for example, then a good group could shift to using Caucasian females to support the operation. Here are some questions you should ask yourself when evaluating a terrorist operative’s race:
• Have operatives from a specific race been positively identified as belonging to a suspected group? If so, from which race?
