Although the number of terrorist attacks in the United States declined by nearly half in the 2000s, the lethality and long-term impact of al-Qaida’s attacks on September 11, 2001 were extraordinary. Nearly 3,000 people were killed, and thousands more were injured on the day of the attacks.

Al-Qaida’s attacks notwithstanding, the 2000s saw a decline in the number of formal perpetrator organizations who were attributed responsibility for terrorist attacks.
Although the organizational size, structure, and cohesion varied, more than 30 named groups were responsible for attacks in the 1990s, compared to just eight in the 2000s.

Other Islamist attacks during the 2000s were primarily carried out by assailants who were not formally affiliated with particular perpetrator organizations. These include Nidal Hasan’s 2009 attack at Fort Hood in Texas, in which 13 people were killed and more than 30 others were injured. Although lethal terrorist attacks motivated by Christian, anti-abortion ideology and anti- Semitic ideology also took place in the 2000s, there were far fewer than had occurred in the 1990s.

The number of attacks by left-wing extremists increased 80 percent in the 2000s.

These attacks were nearly all motivated by environmentalism and carried out by perpetrators affiliated with ALF and ELF. All of these attacks were intended to cause property damage and intimidation; none were lethal. The number of attacks motivated by right- wing extremism declined by 40 percent between the 1990s and the 2000s, and included attacks carried out by perpetrators motivated by white supremacy and neo-Nazi ideology, as well as anti-Semitism, anti-immigration, and anti-abortion beliefs, and opposition to progressive social policies.

In comparison to the 2000s, there was a sharp increase in the proportion of attacks carried out by right-wing extremists (from 6% to 35%) and religious extremists (from 9% to 53%) in the United States.

Instead, attacks between 2010 and 2016 were typically carried out by individual perpetrators ...

Figure demonstrates how tourism reacts ‘immediately and severely’ when the security situation deteriorates, while the second chart plots security instability over the same period (the red line being a ‘synthetic indicator of security instability’). Thus, when instability is high (red line in Figure 2.2) visitor arrivals are low (green line in Figure 2.1).

The security situation has a significant impact on tourist arrivals in Israel, but to different degrees depending on the purpose of the visit: tourists coming on a pilgrimage, vacation or for touring are affected to a great extent by the level of terrorism, while those coming on business and to visit relatives are minimally affected

Tourists with an attachment to Israel - whether as Jews or as tourists who have visited the country previously - are less affected by the level of terrorism, in each purpose of the visit

The impact of economic variables on tourist arrivals is secondary: The economic variables, including the exchange rate, have more of an impact when the security situation is calm

Taking Islamic extremism as an example, the radicalisation process often involves creating anger and frustration, encouraging individuals to defend Islam at the cost of their own lives. Leuprecht et al. (2010) identify four levels of the Global Jihad narrative:

Islam is under attack by Western crusaders led by the United States;

Jihadis, whom the West refers to as terrorists, are defending against this attack;

The actions they take in defence of Islam are proportional, just and religiously sanctified; and therefore;

It is the duty of good Muslims to support these actions.

In his analysis of the Mods and Rockers, he noted how labels were used to stigmatise the characteristics of the outsiders, defining their actions as ‘bad’ and then further reporting the subsequent actions in the context of these bad terms and constructing them as worse. We see this with Islamophobia where the argument simplifies to: Muslims are terrorists; you are a Muslim = terrorist!

But Muslims are terrorists ... Say less shit!

Since water resources and services are at risk under changed climate conditions, authors suggest that terrorist organizations are likely to exploit these opportunities.

Our results offer several interesting findings that include 675 incidents of water-related terrorism cases in seventy-one countries, involving 124 terrorist organizations, and over 3,000 people killed and/or wounded. This cumulative analysis points to potential risk from non-state actors to compound existing threats to water resources from climate change, water-resources development, and economic policy-driven factors, particularly in countries that experience conflict and share watersheds across political boundaries.

As a matter of proportion of water-related terrorism incidents per terrorist organiza- tion that we considered, the Shining Path is responsible for 4,551 terrorism incidents of which 30 are water-related terrorism; the Taliban is responsible for 6,575 terrorism incidents of which 21 are water-related terrorism; FARC is responsible for 2,481 terrorism incidents of which 42 are water-related terrorism; ISIL is responsible for 4,287 terrorism incidents, 21 of which are water-related terrorism.

The GTD contains 170,351 terrorism incidents from around the world that range from 1970–2016 in 163 countries

While water-related terrorism comprises less than 1% of the incidents out of the entire GTD, we found 675 incidents in 71 countries, involving 124 terrorist organizations.

The number of individuals killed by a water-related terrorism activity as perpetrated by the FARC, Shining Path, Taliban, and ISIL, total 336. ISIL is responsible for 69% of deaths, Taliban is responsible for 12% of deaths, Shining Path for 11% of deaths, and FARC for 8% of deaths.

WI = that water infrastructure is the main target of choice by most terrorist organizations.

China? They already classified Hamas as terrorist for example in 2020!

Hamas has code A1, Palestinian Islamic Jihad has code A2, Palestinian Islamic Army has code A10 etc.
