President Obama has declared that the greatest terrorist threat
which America faces is attacks by lone wolf terrorists. This volume
expands the lone wolf rubric to include autonomous cells: small
groups of terrorists who cooperate, but operate independently. The
challenge presented by lone wolves and autonomous cells, unlike the
threat emanating from established terrorist groups like Al Qaeda,
has proven intractable because of the difficulty of gathering
intelligence on these actors or effectively countering their
actions. Lone wolves operate under the radar, staging deadly
attacks such as that at the Boston Marathon, and the 2011 attacks
in Norway. This volume includes Theory and Policy Studies,
individual case studies and the technological impacts of chemical,
biological and nuclear weapons as well as the impact of social
media in the process of recruitment and radicalization. This book
was originally published as a special issue of Terrorism &
Political Violence.
