ABSTRACT
The networking of terrorism, including the funding, the training, and the willingness of people from very diverse backgrounds to cooperate to carry out terrorist attacks, raises many concerns for the nations seeking to secure themselves from terrorist attacks. As the events of September 11, 2001, graphically demonstrated, terrorist activities are global in reach, in nationality of perpetrators, and in sophistication. The ability to cope depends on the degree to which one is able to understand and predict. As the scope of individuals and nations involved in carrying out attacks broadens, can states adequately predict and thereby protect themselves against future attacks by terrorists who are increasingly transnational in arms and training?
