Increasingly, terrorism goes global. Al Qaida, as the most striking example, is a global network, which cooperates more or less closely with national or regional groups like the GIA [Armed Islamic Group] in Algeria or the Jemaah Islamiyah in Indonesia. Furthermore we have reports on an ad hoc-cooperation in various parts of the world with so-called non-aligned Mujaheddin, individual persons or small groups, which are not part of the Al Qaida-network and do not belong to any other, larger and somehow hierarchically structured group. Moreover some groups which limit their terrorist activities to a certain country or region have established extensive networks for financing their activities around the globe.
The more traditional forms of terrorism like for example SenderoLuminoso in Peru or the BrigateRosse in Italy had only very limited international relations, even if they advocated the international solidarity of workers or similar aims. Paradoxically Al Qaida with its rather anti-modern ideas and its opposition to open society went global, whilst communist groups in the 1970s preaching international revolution had a rather parochial range of action. The use of all the achievements of globalization, like international telecommunication, unimpeded, real time money transfers, easily accessible flight schools and so on by terrorists striving for a rather medieval world has probably further deepened the shock of September 11.
