Subject(s):

Summary: Forensic psychiatrist Sageman describes how terrorist groups now draw on al-Qaeda as a role model and source of inspiration rather than for leadership. In the short term this renders such groups more unpredictable and therefore more dangerous but in the longer term this leaderless quality is their weakness and they are likely to fade into unimportance. Notes the significant differences between Europe and the USA as the subjects of jihadist terror attacks and suggests reasons why despite the war in Iraq America appears to be targeted less often. Concludes with recommendations for policies to counter jihadist terror groups.
