The Terrorist Recognition Handbook

Whether they are acting as a one-person cell, or with a sophisticated global finance and logistics network, terrorists can be members of nearly any race, sex, religion or political persuasion. But every terrorist operation always has certain characteristics, and the only effective way to identify and prevent terrorists is to observe their behaviour and analyse it with an intelligence-based approach. In "The Terrorist Recognition Handbook", terrorism expert Malcolm Nance covers: how terrorist groups are classified and organized; how intelligence, operations, planning and logistics cells operate; the key steps every terrorist group always follows; how to recognize the stages of a terrorist plot; and the known terrorist groups and their tactics. It should be an valuable resource and training guide for police officers, SWAT teams, federal officials, security companies, local water boards, chemical plants, oil refineries, power generating facilities, electrical and telephone utilities, airport facilities, public transportation officials, education officials, journalists and ordinary citizens.
