In order to be able to combat terrorism, it is necessary to understand that the terrorists are networked on a global scale. Even smaller groups and individuals are able to radicalize themselves through the Internet and other forms of mass media. The terrorists are able to exploit this interconnectivity to recruit and retain members by creating interlinked communities of trust that sustain the effort and provide support and a sense of belonging to members. Therefore, it will take a globally-coordinated effort to combat terrorism effectively. The global war on terror has dominated both domestic and international discourse. The methodology for combating and mitigating the threat of potential terrorist attacks has primarily rested on the operational domain. The networked nature of the global terrorist threat has often been a subject of concern. This paper will explore the practical reality of a social network and what it means to the extremist and terrorist community and in addition, the wider contextual realities that have ensured the sustenance of the threat of the global terrorist network.
