Abstract

"The leadership of al-Qaeda does appear to ... be more coherent and organised than had been thought in recent years" Gordon Corera, BBC security correspondent, October 2006

Terrorist groups are becoming more coherent and sophisticated, meaning that there is an ever-increasing risk of a crisis. Training and recruitment schemes have been stepped up and are known to be operating in universities and local communities in organised, co-ordinated cells. In response, militaries, government agencies, emergency services and the commercial sector must join together now to make sure that citizens and businesses are provided with adequate protection. Key to effective security is interoperability and inter-agency co-operation, integration of new technologies and effective training strategies for personnel.
