//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.
My point wasn't intended as criticism of your paper specifically, but of selection bias in terror research generally. Statistical modelling of terror attacks will always suffer from the fact that the amount of detail available is proportional to the incompetence of the attacker.

But you're presuming they don't want to get caught and have their identities known in the end. Most do! Lone actors rarely do multiple attacks across a period of time. The dynamics with these guys is very different than your traditional group-based operatives.

Okay, fair enough, that's an interesting point.
