Aperçu
Why do Europe’s homegrown terrorists choose their fateful path?
Recommendation
A spate of suicide terrorist attacks across Western Europe has bewildered citizens, many of whom cannot fathom why terrorists would resort to such desperate measures. Peter Neumann, a professor of security studies, sheds some light on this issue. His extensive study of Europe’s homegrown terrorists found several commonalities among those who join cells, which may help to demystify violent extremism. getAbstract recommends Neumann’s ideas to anyone interested in finding measured, peaceful counterterrorist solutions.
