New Trends: In The Terrorist Threats Against The Business Sector

摘要

The business sector constitutes one of the primary strategic targets of contemporary terrorism because attacking it can cause severe and cascading economic damages to the targeted businesses and other sectors in the country's overall critical infrastructure as well. In such a way, inflicting cascading damage on a country's economy is one of the four objectives, alongside human fatalities/injuries, physical damage on the targeted facility, and psychological damage on a country's population, of terrorism's overall objective to damage, undermine, and extort political and other concessions from the threatened government and its economic sector.
