Book Synopsis Exploring Terrorist Targeting Preferences by : Martin C. Libicki
Book excerpt: Al Qaeda seeks a restored caliphate free of Western influence, using terror as its means. But how does terrorism serve the ends of Al Qaeda? Based on the analysis of 14 major terrorist attacks, this book seeks to understand its strategic logic and suggest what types of U.S. targets it might seek and why. It examines four different hypotheses : coercion, damage, rally and franchise, to link means and ends.
