Analyzing and Defining Terrorist Acts: What Types of Attacks Should Be Considered Terrorism?, Fred Burton, Police One News, February 2011Fred Burton attempts to answer the question: "What types of acts should be defined as terrorism?" He cautions that dismissing certain acts due to a lack of foreign involvement may lead authorities to overlook important information useful in preventing the next attack.3. A Critical View of Critical Terrorism Studies, James M. Lutz, Perspectives on Terrorism, December 2010James Lutz argues that "terror" and "terrorism" should not be used interchangeably, and that all criminal activities are not necessarily terrorism. He believes that the concept of state terrorism has not received sufficient attention from those engaged in Critical Terrorism Studies.Unit 2: Terrorist TacticsUnit Overview4. Suicide Attacks on the Rise, Captain Billy J. Huntsman, Military Police, 2010Captain Huntsman argues that suicide attacks "should not be viewed merely as an operational tactic, but as a means to a strategic goal."

Rogue Operators, Daniel Byman, The National Interest, July/August 2008Byman examines the changing dynamics of state-sponsored terrorism.

No State Sponsors, No Terror, William F. Jasper, The New American, August 2009Jasper argues that for decades Iran has been the leading sponsor of global terror, followed closely by the KGB and its successor the Russian FSB.
