International Terrorism

2. Explain the group's major motivation(s) (beliefs or causes), and / or its justification for engaging in terrorism.

3. Describe the group's major sources of both financial and non-financial support.

6. Determine whether or not the group and its activities are of importance to the U.S., and explain the key reasons that they are or are not significant.

Support your answer with examples of such effectiveness-or the lack thereof.

8. Suggest the major changes you would make geared toward increasing the efficiency of the U.S.'s response to the group. Justify your response.
