Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses a plan designed to meet the needs of operatives charged with the difficult task of countering the terrorist threats posed by Al Qaeda. As is well known, since the devastatingly deadly attack on the people of the USA, which has come to be known as 9/11, counter terrorism has become of paramount importance. The writer notes that an important step in countering terrorism is to attempt to understand the motivations of terrorists. The writer points out that by studying the Al Qaeda manual that is available on the Internet, one can enhance one's understanding, so that terrorists may be better understood and can be fought more effectively.

What we can Learn from the Al Qaeda Manual

From the Paper
"Thus, we can reasonably expect that the USA will continue to be attacked by terrorists for the foreseeable future. The challenge then is to find the best way to counter it. To do this, we must bear in mind what experts such as Wilen have pointed out: that we cannot beat terrorism by operating only in a reactive mode, as has largely been the case up till now. Rather, we need to operate in a preventative manner. For example, we need to integrate information in order to know about terrorism attacks before they happen, and then take steps to prevent them. This will be a much lesser drain on our resources than cleaning up the mess afterwards. Consider, for example, how much better it would be to prevent a nuclear attack on New York, than to attempt to repair the damage afterwards, especially given the fact that land affected by nuclear fallout cannot be inhabited for 70 years."

Abstract
The paper discusses how because of the horrendous acts of September 11, 2001, the United States developed a strategic plan to protect its infrastructure from further attack through the National Strategy for Combating Terrorism (NSCT). The paper argues that this "strategy" is a valiant effort to combat those who would harm the United States through terrorist acts, and although the strategy has some significant strengths, there are many weaknesses as well that must be addressed.

Abstract
The paper looks at the National Strategy for Combating Terrorism (NSCT), a strategic plan to protect American infrastructure from terrorist attack. The paper discusses the main tenets of the NSCT and its strengths and weaknesses. The paper concludes that the NSCT must be revised and improved to implement more efficient, logical means of fighting this war of religion and ideology.

Tenets of the National Strategy for Combating Terrorism
Strengths of the National Strategy for Combating Terrorism
Weaknesses of the National Strategy for Combating Terrorism
Revisions and Improvements

From the Paper
"The NSCT lays out its efforts in a comprehensive manner to facilitate a clear understanding of the strategies that will be implemented to combat terror, and terrorism. The main objective, of course, is to defeat violent extremism, which poses a definite threat to our way of life as a free and open society; and create a global environment inhospitable to violent extremists and their supporters (NSCT 2006).
"The NSCT clearly indicates that its strategies are taking into consideration the fact that terrorists and terrorist organizations have adjusted their strategies in response to United States actions, therefore the NSCT is continually being refined."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the attacks on September 11th took the American population by surprise and how they thought they were immune from domestic terror. It demonstrates many of the primary causes of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the resulting effects of such a broad-spectrum attack on the American people. It shows that the perceived false sense of safety and security exhibited by the American people resulted in a complacent attitude within the American government, which affected the effectiveness of the law enforcement agency to prevent the 9/11 attacks. It examines how law enforcement officials overlooked warning signs that may have prevented the attack on the World Trade Center.

From the Paper
"What were the causes of the 9/11 tragedies? The effects of the attacks are obvious; the American people find themselves? plunged into a war against a foe unseen. The U.S. government finds itself engaged in conflict unknown. No forewarning existed from our enemy, no warning from our multi-billion dollar defense systems, no prior intent of aggression. How are the American people to know of future impending attacks? What will prevent further terrorist activity and violence from our unforeseen enemy? One can only draw the conclusion that government complacency resulted in overlooking and dismissal of critical intelligence reports and information that might have prevented the World Trade Center attacks, and information that may prevent future attacks."

Abstract
The paper discusses the issue of terrorism as being the most stringent aspect of international politics, since the events of 2001 proved that terrorism is by no means a conventional threat and a conventional war cannot be waged against it. The paper states that it is important that a comprehensive approach on the matter be taken into consideration. The paper further discusses that the United States has been promoting a complex counter terrorism policy which includes the combination of various aspects of foreign policy. The paper focuses on the fact that pursuing a military unconventional warfare strategy in a diplomatic environment will only work, if there is synergy within the United States Government.

From the Paper
"One of the first aspects to be taken into account is the issue of the global nature of the terrorist threat. In this sense, the United States has been widely considered a worldwide approach on the matter. This method of dealing with terrorism is obvious in the 2006 National Strategy for Combating Terrorism. More precisely, the document drew the guidelines for the activities of the US Government in its attempt to address the issue of terrorism. In this sense, among other aspects, the policy considers that action must be taken in order to "advance effective democracies as the long-term antidote to the ideology of terrorism; prevent attacks by terrorist networks; deny terrorists the support and sanctuary of rogue states; deny terrorists control of any nation they would use as a base and launching pad for terror; and lay the foundations and build the institutions and structures we need to carry the fight forward against terror and help ensure our ultimate success" . All these measures are taken in relation to two distinctive paths of action which in order to be effective, must be interlinked and combined. These two directions are the military and the diplomatic one."

Abstract
This paper describes the revelations that arose from the September 11, 2001 Al Qaeda terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Pennsylvania in the United States. The paper looks at what lessons have been learned from those attacks regarding the safety of the United States and what must be done to prevent and protect America from future terrorist threats.

From the Paper
"Although it is easy to make recommendations of this sort in hindsight, it is obvious by now that the President and his staff should have paid closer attention to the warnings from the CIA regarding Osama Bin Laden's plans to hijack planes and perform terrorist acts. It is important to understand that the CIA likely receives more threats and tips regarding terrorism than is possible to act upon in every instance, but the fact that the information about Osama Bin Laden was considered important enough to pass along to the President indicates that perhaps the information was corroborated by several sources or there was an abundant amount of evidence supporting the claims, or both. At any rate, the CIA is likely not passing along information to the President without having a certain degree of confidence that the information is correct."

Abstract
This paper discusses the federal law proposed by Senator Bruce Wayne for the purpose of combating domestic terrorism. It explains how the law proposed that 1) visiting federal buildings be subject to a search of their person and belongings; 2) police detain any individual arousing suspicion of potential terrorist activity in or near a federal building; and 3) sentences be doubled and made mandatory for individuals convicted of terrorist-related activity. The paper examines the social ramifications of the threat of domestic terrorism in the United States.

From the Paper
"In the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing, both press and public hastily assumed that the crime had Mideast origins. "John Doe," however, turned out to hail from the heart of Middle America. One of the lessons learned, as the terrorist's true identity slowly revealed itself, was not to jump to conclusions in assessing terrorism. This is a lesson that should yield even greater pause, as lawmakers eagerly rush to find a solution to the problem of domestic terrorism."

Five articles show the concern of Americans concerning terrorism and technology. Computers can be used to fight against terrorism as it has already been used to cause terrorism on September 11th.

Abstract
This paper explains that, despite past activities, a new United Nations-led global anti-terror regime is desperately needed to play a pivotal role in forging a new identity for the U.N. and to serve as a stronghold of global collective anti-terrorism. The author points out that some of the problems are related to the United Nations' bureaucracy, its dependency on donations from member countries, and the political nature of the U.N. The paper concludes that the United Nations is an important pillar of the modern world, whose continued existence has become far more critical than ever before; therefore, the role of United Nations is going to be more challenging and critical in enforcing the international justice systems, especially in the area of terrorism.

From the Paper
"The Security Council has created a Counter-Terrorism Committee, which is charged with monitoring the implementation of the international justice. In this respect, United Nations expressed deep concern with terrorism, arguing that terrorists represented a serious threat to international peace and to individual. The resolution also called the Counter-Terrorism Committee to promote sophisticated approaches to addressing their efforts to eliminate the affliction of international terrorism."
