A Global Assessment of Terrorism

Interesting report from the University of Central Florida, Terrorism Studies Program:

“To avoid complacency and deal more effectively with the terrorism threat, the United States and its allies must seriously review and overhaul their counter-terrorism policies, with an emphasis on fresh thinking: a new mindset – anticipating the unexpected; a new focus – recognizing that all terrorism ultimately is local; a new learning emphasis – expanding terrorism education at all levels; a new multilateralism – avoiding any “America-first” strategies against terrorism; and a new sense of innovation – countering terrorist propaganda with ideas and acts that expose the hypocrisies and attack the roots of the problem.”
