ABSTRACT
Terror attacks have been a substantial problem around the world, driven in large part by regional interests and issues. For instance, members of various Irish Republican Army (IRA) groups engaged in terror attacks against English targets from the mid 1970s through the early 2000s. Similarly, domestic extremist groups within the United States have engaged in a number of attacks over the last few decades, such as Timothy McVeigh’s
1995 bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (Schmid and Jongman, 2005 ).
