Terrorism is a complex, multi faceted and often baffling subject. Those organizations involved tend to emerge, splinter and reappearing, making them very difficult to follow. Although some members of these groups are jailed, some go underground and often vanish. For many years, there has been a growing, highly organized terrorist network extending to all corners of the world.

Bombings, armed attacks, suicide bombers, and assassinations have become daily news, but still more shocking is the global pattern that emerges from them. A number of these terrorist groups appear to be highly efficient and independent organizations when, in fact, they all train together in various parts of the world and assist each other on operations. These terrorist operations proliferate across the world.

Almost every country has been involved one way or another with international terrorism and each has its own way of combating the terrorist threat.

The purpose of terror is terror. Ultimately, the terrorist regardless of ideology, politics or culture, is an individual and uses terrorism for personal gratification. In effect, the terrorist uses violence to say "Be afraid of me -- I can do this to any of you and none of you can stop me." This also means that the terrorist is someone who badly needs to be able to say this.

The terrorist knows that he generates fear and takes pleasure from it. The terrorist is someone who feels that he must be heroic and important and uses violence as a shortcut to achieve this. The cause that 'allows' the terrorist to act is mutable; most of those who would commit terrorism will find a cause of some kind or another. The stated motive is of little consequence.

Terrorism is one of the most urgent and most misunderstood issues facing businesses and individuals today. With the threat of terrorism constantly increasing, it is essential that this growing risk be understood. This can only be achieved through education; education provided by an organization that has experience in terrorist's tactics and terrorism first hand. The Globe Risk Holdings series of workshops on Contemporary Terrorism assists in understanding the problem of terrorism through an examination of the scope and range of terrorist options, by identifying terrorist groups, by determining how these groups operate and by suggesting how we combat, respond to, and mitigate this growing threat.

Globe Risk Holdings's workshops on Contemporary Terrorism are particularly beneficial to those individuals and organizations that may be affected directly or indirectly by an inability to travel and continue business as a result of terrorist threats and activity.

However, people from all walks of life would find this workshop interesting and necessary for a number of reasons, namely:

1. to gain a global perspective of the growing threat of terrorism
2. to define pro-active strategies to reduce risk and respond effectively to the threat of terrorism
3. to discuss how terrorist groups operate and plan their devastating attacks
4. to examine critical infrastructure and each sector's vulnerabilities
5. to review global responses to terrorism
