Terrorism Events
Research Project
Presentation paper
This project presentation requires you to answer when, who, where, what how (tactic employed), what definition, and the specific and broad type of terrorism related to any terrorist event that has occurred anywhere in the world from “14 days prior to the start of the course” to “one week prior to your assignment being due at the end of week seven.” Events outside (before or after) this specific time/date period will receive a zero. The final section, where most points can be earned, requires you to identify and explain security and counter-terrorism measures in relation to your selected type of terrorism.
Discuss the following using the sub titles below
Slide 1:
Slide 2:
When: (date)
Who: (terrorist group and/or affiliation)
Where: (city, state, province, country)
Slide 3:
What: (“in “no more than 100 words,” relate the incident, but do “not” copy and paste news reports here). Ensure you include an in-text citation here (referenced at the end of the project). As not to make the slide “busy” (crowded), you should use the speaker notes section for most of your “100 words” (the slide for major titles, points, etc.)
Slide 4:
Tactic Employed: (hijacking, bombing, kidnapping, assassination, etc.) Be specific and concise.
Slide 5:
Formal/Major Terrorism Definition Used to Label this Event as a Terrorist Act: (FBI, UN, EU, etc.) Ensure you include an in-text citation here for the source of your definition (referenced at the end of the project presentation). Explain specifically how your event appropriately “fits” this definition. Be specific and concise. A common point deduction for “not” explaining how the definition fits the specific event.
Slide 6:
Type of Terrorism: (in “no more than 100 words,” explain the type of terrorism: religious, state, right-wing, left-wing t, biological, chemical, cyber, nuclear – including radiological materials, ecological, narcotic, separatist, or issue oriented). As not to make the slide “busy” (crowded), you should use the speaker notes section for most of your “100 words” (the slide for major titles, points, etc.)
Slide 7:
International or Domestic Terrorism: (“in “no more than 100 words,” explain why this event is either international or domestic terrorism – “or” can be argued as both broad types of terrorism). As not to make the slide “busy” (crowded), you should use the speaker notes section for most of your “100 words” (the slide for major titles, points, etc.)
Slide 8 to as necessary:
Security/Counter-terrorism Measures: (describe appropriate security and counter-terrorism measures that could be employed to prevent and/or mitigate further incidents of “of the type of terrorism,” including – if appropriate for your event, force protection and standard/typical physical, personnel, and procedural security measures and/or strategies – “not only/just” counter-terrorism measures). Sub-sections (with headings throughout “this section”) should be used for organizational presentation of your specific measures. To be considered, “each” specific measure must stand out via a heading.
