| Global Islamic insurgency theory Global Islamic Insurgency is a hypothesis formulated by David Kilcullen contending that various non-state Islamist groups are dedicated to political outcomes by way of terrorism and information operations, networked through informal social bonds with access to modern communication technologies and with the backing of certain states, certain Islamic charitable organizations and/or wealthy individuals; it is best described as an insurgency on a global scale, against the 'established order'. Countering Global Insurgency In contrast, Adam Curtis has argued that, although there are individual Islamist groups throughout the world, there is no single coordinated global Islamist movement, but both US Neo-Conservatives and radical Islamists have supported the idea of one to further their own political goals.

| Suicide attack A suicide attack is an attack upon a target, in which an attacker intends to kill others and/or cause great damage, knowing that he or she will either certainly or most likely die in the process. While it does not exclusively require the detonation of a bomb, the means of attack usually include vehicles filled with explosives, passenger planes carrying large amounts of fuel, and individuals wearing vests filled with explosives due to the amount of devastation these methods can cause within the short period of time the attacker is alive and in control.
