Sommario/riassunto |
|
This two-part RAND project aims to increase understanding of future threats from terrorist and other extremist organizations. Part Two examines other violent Islamist and non-Islamist groups, without known links to al-Qaeda, that threaten U.S. interests and allies and looks at the nexus between terrorism and organized crime. |
