Impacts of Transnational Terrorism

• With globalisation, terrorism has become even more complex as it now takes on a transnational nature
• Transnational terrorism has intensified due to the technolohical advances of globalisation in the last few years
• These technological advances improved the speed of communication, travel and trade
• Terrorist organisations are thus finding it easier to coordinate their operations across countries, online or in person
• Transnational terrorists have also used the Internet to spread their violent beliefs to a global audience
• Through the Internet, terrorists are able to freely recruit, train, raise money, collect intelligence and distribute propaganda
• The low cost of the Internet and its wide reach are attractive to terrorists allowing terrorism to become a global movement
• Transnational terrorism has caused many deaths, destruction to properties and infrastructure, affected economies of many countries
• We are experiencing many examples of transnational terrorist attacks in different parts of the world today
