خلاصه ماشینی:
Although the recruitment of Islamic groups for jihadist activities has been occurring for many years in various parts of the world, after September 11, intelligence organizations have exercised more control over such matters.
Before September 11, there was no sensitivity toward the activities of Islamic organizations in Europe, as the primary environment for recruiting Muslim jihadist groups.
By changing its target from near enemies (anti-Islamic regimes in the Middle East and the war in Bosnia) to far enemies (the United States), Al-Qaeda established bases in Saudi Arabia and then Somalia; however, Al-Qaeda's terrorist activities caused pressure on the Sudanese government and consequently led to the exit of this organization from Sudan.
The core of this movement was the attraction and recruitment of new individuals for the organization; because many cadres and members of Al-Qaeda were eliminated after September 11.
Characteristics of the Member (Force) Based on the findings of Marc Sageman1, terrorists are generally middle-class, young, educated, raised in religious families with positive religious values, spiritual, and socially interested.
An individual joins terrorist groups under the influence of propaganda in mosques, religious training centers, schools, universities, video tapes, and the internet.
The American Operational Theater The so-called American anti-terrorism war in Iraq has been another factor in attracting individuals to Al-Qaeda in various parts of the world.
After September 11, Al-Qaeda's recruitment method has turned into a floating state, with a flexible and decentralized structure that utilizes the internet and communication technology to penetrate global Islamic Jihad organizations.
