//Thread on #Loneactor #terrorism #research // Over the past couple of months, my colleagues in the #EU @Prime_FP7 project (incl. @noemie_bouhana @paulgill_ucl @LasseLindekilde @MonageaFrancis) and I published a series of articles on lone actor terrorism.
I still think there is a general problem of sampling in that you can only profile those who are caught (even if it's only after they carry out their attack). Even so, it was an interesting study, so thanks.

No need to be rude. My point is that while the study is useful, it is limited to those networks that are known.

A list of those in Turkey alone can be found here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/221246952_Prediction_of_past_unsolved_terrorist_attacks …

Thanks for engaging. Actually, the sample includes numerous instances of attacks that were prevented as well. It’s all there in the paper!
