Postmodern global terrorist groups engage sovereign nations
asymmetrically with prolonged, sustained campaigns driven by
ideology. Increasingly, transnational criminal organizations
operate with sophistication previously only found in multinational
corporations. Unfortunately, both of these entities can now
effectively hide and morph, keeping law enforcement and
intelligence agencies in the dark and on the run. Perhaps more
disturbing is the fact that al Qaeda, Hezbollah, FARC, drug
cartels, and increasingly violent gangs-as well as domestic groups
such as the Sovereign Citizens-are now joining forces. Despite
differing ideologies, they are threatening us in new and
provocative ways. The Terrorist-Criminal Nexus: An Alliance of
International Drug Cartels, Organized Crime, and Terror Groups
frames this complex issue using current research and real-world
examples of how these entities are sharing knowledge, training,
tactics, and-in increasing frequency-joining forces. Providing
policy makers, security strategists, law enforcement and
intelligence agents, and students with new evidence of this growing
threat, this volume: Examines current and future threats from
international and domestic criminal and terror groups Identifies
specific instances in which these groups are working together or in
parallel to achieve their goals Discusses the "lifeblood" of modern
organizations-the money trail Describes how nefarious groups
leverage both traditional funding methods and e-commerce to raise,
store, move, and launder money Explores the social networking
phenomenon and reveals how it is the perfect clandestine platform
for spying, communicating, recruiting, and spreading propaganda
Investigates emergent tactics such as the use of human shields, and
the targeting of first responders, schools, hospitals, and churches
This text reveals the often disregarded, misunderstood, or
downplayed nexus threat to the United States. Proving definitively
that such liaisons exist despite differing ideologies, the book
provides a thought-provoking new look at the complexity and
phenomena of the terrorist-criminal nexus. This book was excerpted
in the February/March 2013 issue of The Counter Terrorist.
