Terrorism was once a topic limited to certain sectors of the world,
such as the Middle East or South Africa. However, in recent years,
it appears that no one is safe in any part of the globe. A growing
number of countries must take measures to protect citizens and
visitors from the threat of terrorism. The Unites States of America
is the latest addition to this list. It has become evident in
recent years that terrorism is no longer a localized event, but
rather an increasing global problem. It has also become obvious
that terrorism requires a global solution as well. Evidence has
been mounting that terrorist groups are beginning to connect and
form alliances. This gives them greater strength and greater
resources. It seems they are finding common ground and are
beginning to coordinate efforts. This will be the topic of the
proposed research. The research contained in this dissertation
supports the formation of terrorist coalitions by examining
extensive information contained in United States Department of
State Annual Reports on Patterns of Global Terrorism. It examines
the recent trend towards former single terrorist organizations
forming alliances in order to conduct large-scale global acts of
terrorism. The findings of this report support the thesis that
terrorist groups indeed are cooperating for the purposes of a
common cause. The interconnectivity of financing and the sharing of
training grounds for these groups are examined in detail. Better
communications technology has played a significant role in the
formation of these groups and the abilities of these groups to
conduct coordinated acts of terrorism against multiple nations.
