	17/6/2007 Why So Little? The Palestinian Terrorist Organizations and Unconventional Terrorism Ehud Sprinzak and Ely Karmon The recent interest in the possible use by terrorists of weapons of mass destruction has led students of terrorism to reexamine in depth past cases of known or alleged WMD terrorism. This article looks at the Palestinian terrorist organizations and factions engaged between the 1960s and the 1990s in a fierce strugg le against the State of Israel.

	25/5/2007 Chechnya in 2007: Ramzan Kadyrov's Domain Artem Kroupenev The assassination of Shamil Basayev marked a watershed of success for Russia’s counter-terrorism efforts in the North Caucasus. However, the turmoil in Chechnya is far from over.
	13/5/2007 Gender, Palestinian Women, and Terrorism: Women’s Liberation or Oppression? Anat Berko and Edna Erez The study examines the hypothesis that Palestinian women’s involvement in terrorism indicates women’s liberation. The data are derived from indepth interviews with fourteen women who were detained or incarcerated in Israeli prisons for security offenses. The interviews shed light on the women’s pathways to terrorism, the roles that they play in terrorist activity, and the aftermath of their security offenses within Palestinian society and culture. The study underlines the “no return” option and “no win” situation that Palestinian women who embark on terrorist activities encounter. This is the author's version of the work.

	30/3/2007 Looming Jihadi Anarchy in Pakistan B. Raman There has been an increasingly disturbing challenge to the authority of Pakistan's President, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, from jihadis inspired by the Neo Taliban and Al Qaeda, who are actively supported by a group of retired officers of the Army and the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
	21/3/2007 The Rationality of the Islamic Radical Suicide attack phenomenon Boaz Ganor Suicide attacks have clearly become the most dangerous modus operandi of modern terrorism. In a sense, the suicide attack is the terrorists’ “smart bomb”. The suicide attacker is no more then a platform that carries the explosive charge to its target. However, this platform can think and, therefore, see to it that the explosive charge is detonated at the optimal location and timing so as to create maximum carnage and destruction.
	3/3/2007 External Signs of Radicalization and Jihadist Militancy Javier Jordán and Fernando M. Mañas Is it possible to know if we are before a jihadist judging solely by exterior appearances? It is, in fact, very difficult to respond to this question in a definitive way. Certain appearances can indicate a symptom that an individual is experimenting a process of jihadist radicalization.
	20/2/2007 Aviation Terrorism: From Bargaining Chip to Strategic Agent Hillel Avihai Hijacking has become an archaic tactic, converting the hostages from being pawns on the terrorism chess board to dispensable targets. This is emphasized by the transition from 'rolling action' to 'immediate action'. 'Immediate action' is characterized by the fact that no negotiation takes place within the latter mode of air terrorism, unlike 'rolling terrorism', which refers to a negotiation process in which hostages are released after the release of jailed terrorists.
	16/2/2007 International Terror and Anti-Semitism - Two Modern Day Curses: Is There a Connection? Ely Karmon This essay analyzes the correlation between antisemitism and the use of terrorism against Jewish communities and individuals worldwide. It identifies the anti-Zionist and anti-Israel ideology and strategy of radical Islamist, as well as some ultra-leftist, ultra-rightist and anti-globalization groups, as the pretext for their murderous actions against Jews and Israelis. This trend emerged with the beginning of modern terrorism in the late 1960s but intensified after the 9/11 attacks on the United States and increasing globalization, bringing about some surprising antisemitic coalitions.
