Select a terrorist organization likely to conduct

Guidelines:

Select a terrorist organization likely to conduct an attack within the United States, and complete an in-depth profile on the organization you selected for this first part of a three part series of papers. This same group you select will be used for your Midterm, Progress, and Final papers.

For this midterm, write a 5-7 page (double-spaced) research paper that provides a description of the organization's origins, ideology, goals & objectives. Also include sections describing the group's leadership, funding, and capabilities (such as physical bases or operating/support location(s), personnel strengths, and communications methods). Also describe how you envision this group actually conducting an attack within the United States, such as the known and suspected weapons/lethal agents and delivery methods, and the tactics, techniques and procedures that they may use in conducting the attack within the U.S. homeland. [Note: You need to specifically describe how the group will conduct a terrorist attack inside the US, so if your selected group is unlikely to do so either pick a different group that is likely to do so -- it is important to be able to progress on the other 2 papers that you describe the group in detail and exactly what the attack in the U.S. would look like]

This Midterm Paper (the "Red Cell" organizational profile) is due Sunday of Week 3. The profile must follow APA guidelines (parenthetical citation formats only; not end notes or footnotes) and be free of typographical, spelling and grammatical errors. The minimum requirement is 5 full pages of content (not counting title page and reference page).
