Description

The information age is affecting not only the types of targets and weapons terrorists choose, but also the ways in which groups operate and structure their organizations. Several of the most dangerous terrorist organizations are using information technology such as computers, software, telecommunication devices, and the internet-to better organize and coordinate dispersed activities.

This book assesses the degree to which-and how-networked terrorist groups are using information technology, particularly it reviews present trends and offers a series of insights about how such trends will evolve in the future.
