Chapter II Major Characteristics and Developmental Trends
ofin Current International Terrorist Activities
II. Seen from the standpoint of the regions of terrorist activities, the regions with high incidence of international terrorist activities are still traditional regions traditionally plagued with wars or conflicts. Iraq has become or is becoming the “second Afghanistan”. The “Middle East—Central Asia—South Asia—Southeast Asia Arc” has become a “the heavily hit disaster area” of international terrorist activities. After the “9·11” Incident, because the United States strengthened its own defenses, and in particular, because the US Army carried out severe retaliatory ing attacks in Afghanistan, such international terrorist organizations such as the “Al Qaeda” have adjusted their strategies to avoid primary enemy main forces and strike at the weak points of the enemy, spreading the “main warfrontbattlefields” to other countries. However, major incidents of terrorist attacks incidents still mostly take place in place in thisthe traditional region withwhich has traditionally had athe highest incidence of terrorist incidents. In Saudi Arabia, 3 explosions took place in the west of its capital, Riyadh, on November 9, 2003, resulting in over 20 deaths and injuries y ofto over 100 people. In Turkey, the explosion which took incident taking place in Istanbul on November 15, 2003 targeting at Turkish Jews and two other incidents of large-scale terrorist explosions incidentswhich taking placetook place on the 20th in Istanbul caused over 60 deaths, injury of over 700 injuries people and damages ofto over 200 buildings including the UK cConsulate gGeneral of the United Kingdom. In Afghanistan, the “Al Qaeda” and the residual members of the Talibans have become active again, attacking such targets as the Afghanistan authorities, international security forces and international organizations in Afghanistan under the banner of resistance against the US Army, resulting in heavy casualties.
What is particularly serious is that Iraq , occupied by the US Army , is also becoming a new source of terrorist activities. After the completionconclusion of the main battleswar in Iraq, a large number of international terrorists flocked into Iraq, and continuously perpetrat eding terrorist actsincidents with the local resistance organizations. The organization and planning of their attack sing actions have become closer, and their the attacking scale and targets of their attacks continue to keep expand ing, not only against the occupation armiesforces from the US and the UK but also against international organizations and personnel assisting in Iraq, as well as the new Iraqi political organization s and personnel under the support of the United States, and even including ordinary Iraqi civilianspublic. Their methods of attack ing measures are being continuously updatedrenewed, and the number of casualties inflicted continues to rise. causing more and more casualties. For example, an attack launched by a suicide car bomber in the south of Bagdad on February 28, 2005 killed at least 115 and wounded 140. [1] Various terrorist organizations keep spreading the threat of terror in a nt attempt to interfere with and destroy the efforts of the United States’ force s in terms of stabilizing the political situation in Iraq. The US authorities have stated that it is more and more difficult to distinguish the resistance activities andfrom terrorist activities in Iraq.
