Objective 3: Summarize the different types of tactics used by terrorist groups.

The mindset necessary to embrace for this objective is we are able to demonstrate a knowledge of terroristic tactics both domestically and internationally. It is important to be able to distinguish between the various types of technology used by terrorist groups, how they may differ from economic targeting by a terrorist group, and/or what you may traditionally think of for modern day terrorists, suicide terrorism. Distinguish between these tactics and be able to explain why a terrorist group may want to use a certain option over another. Finally, consider the role of women in terrorist organizations and the tactics surrounding using women in such roles.

• Prepare to share in discussion on the following points:
  • What are the different types of technology that inundate and influence terrorism?
  • How are they commonly used?
  • What are the different types of economic targeting used by terrorists and to what does the term transnational attacks refer?
