[edit] INTERNATIONAL TERRORIST SUPPORT NETWORKS
An examination of the external military, political and economic support for terrorist groups. Rohan Gunaratna examines how terrorist front organizations accumulate political-economic influence, mobilize human rights and humanitarian organizations on their behalf, and infiltrate NGOs.
Examines the support given to by diaspora and migrant communities to terrorist groups This book examines the external military, political and economic support for terrorist groups, focusing on the nature, quality and extent of assistance provided by Irish, Sri Lankan Tamil, Kurdish and Kashmiri diaspora and migrant communities to the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA), Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), Kurdish Worker's Party (PKK) and various Kashmiri factions. Today, most major terrorist groups operate internationally with relative ease. They build support in one theatre, train in a second, and conduct their military operations in a third. Instead of resisting globalisation, they are harnessing its forces. Rohan Gunaratna argues that hosting countries, especially liberal democracies, provide a healthy environment for terrorist front groups where - under the guise of conducting social, cultural, economic, political and religious activities - terrorist front organisations accumulate political-economic influence. He examines how they mobilise human rights and humanitarian organisations on their behalf, infiltrate NGOs and manipulate their co-ethnic and co-religious diasporic communities. The resilience of nationalist, separatist and irredentist campaigns relies heavily on the efforts of supporters in diasporic communities, and the author recommends possible initiatives to monitor and disrupt transnational support for international terrorism.
