Terrorists have been an issue for many years and can attack many people at once for gratitude in doing so. Terrorists like to work in the geographical location they feel familiar and are comfortable with in order to implement their plan of action. Terror groups are all over the world, and are very exclusive in planning out there strategies for attack. Terrorists have many people in their groups all over the world. Some of the people who are in the group may be there only because they are forced too. These groups have many different types of illegal terrorists’ ’activities which include drugs, money laundering, trafficking, murder, fear, and control.
Terror groups will recruit people who want the same thing the group stands for. The recruiters are willing to help in reaching illegal goals and take downs of people whom they feel have wronged them or have betrayed them. A lot of the people who join a terrorist group have mental reasons for committing illegal crime, or committing murder towards others they feel are beneath them in society.
The person who wants to join a group will not have a problem killing people for whatever reason, and will have no conscious or empathy in doing so. “The individual will need to be able to work by himself, and carry out tasks accordingly for the group” (Spinlove, 2009). The person being recruited has to show they have complete courage to act out any task, and handle themselves no matter what is needed to be done. They should have no fear or fear of death for themselves or others no matter what the circumstance they are asked to put themselves into.
Terrorists groups go after an attack innocent individuals to cause panic, fear, and make a more avid point to society or political party. They do not care about who they are taking out, nor do they care about the effects this will have no the families of the people they hurt. It is all about completing a mission of attack for a purpose only the terrorist group understands.
When a terrorist group plan an attack for their own reasons it will need to be known to the world that the attack has occurred. They will not attack quietly and under radar. The point of their attacks are to cause fear, and make a point to certain groups of people that makes since to the attacker. Anyone can be a victim of a terrorist group, and anyone can be a terrorist in disguise. They may not have an evil face with a label on their back that says I am a terrorist, but could be someone’s neighbor, or relative.
Terrorist are motivational groups with a plan of action, and desired target of attack. They won’t stop until there mission is planned out and executed. The three classification of motivation is either psychological reasoning, racial, or rational. Some terrorist groups are motivated towards religious factors, and will want to destroy those who have different beliefs because they believe those individuals are the enemy. A terrorist group may feel that others threaten what they stand for and can plan an attack on those people. They may be innocent people who have no idea they are being targeted for their opinions but in the eyes of a terrorist those people are the target to be destroyed.
Some terrorists will take hostages to get attention, and make a point to whom they are after. The reason is to get a reaction from the enemy and move in to destroy them. Criminal activity is also a huge role in terrorism. The reason is funding for their crimes are needed, and stealing, selling drugs, or trafficking may be other areas they work on to make untraceable money for their plans of destruction. Terrorists have no boundaries, nor do they fear authority.
