Sommario/riassunto

This two-part RAND project aims to increase understanding of future threats from terrorist and other extremist organizations. Part One examines al-Qaeda and how it has changed since 9/11 and looks at terrorist groups in the jihadist movement that may not formally be part of al-Qaeda but have assimilated al-Qaeda's worldview and concept of



mass-casualty terrorist attacks.
