| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Since 2001, the focus of U.S. policymakers has been on Jihadi terrorism: Al Qaeda, its various affiliates, and, more recently, the challenges posed by ISIS/ISIL. Against this backdrop, it is easy to neglect other types of terrorism that exist, commonly referred to as ethno-separatist, left-wing, right-wing, or single-issue. Many Jihadi groups share similarities with or are influenced by some of these other types. This article expands on Bard O’Neill’s insurgency framework to distinguish between nine types of non-state terrorist groups. This more detailed categorization illustrates important overlaps between groups as well as differences and should help tailor counterterrorism strategies. |
