Terrorism

Many terrorist groups are international in scope and act on targets in several countries. Al Qaeda, the group responsible for the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States, is a prime example.

The Terrorism Research Center


1. What does the site say about the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks?




2. What are the most important current news stories related to terrorism?




3. Go to the "Analysis and Commentary" section. What do the articles state about the nature and potential threat of weapons of mass destruction and chemical and biological weapons? What are the main points of the article on cyberterrorism?




4. Go to the "Documents" section. Pick three documents and summarize the important points of each.




5. Go to the "Profiles" section. Research three groups. What are the important aspects of each?




6. Given what you have learned about terrorism from this site and other sources of information, what do you think the United States government should do to combat terrorism? Has it been doing an adequate job so far? How would you perform the task if you were the President of the United States?
