| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The lines between terrorism and brutal profiteering are increasingly blurred. Terrorists engaging in criminal acts under the guise of ideology pose a real and pervasive threat to international security.

When it comes down to it, these types of terrorists need to be treated as criminals motivated by money, not ideals |
