Here goes RAND reinventing the wheel again. Throughout the seventies, Palestinian terrorist organization, especially PFLP, ran training camps throughout Lebanon which offered training to European (RAF, RB), Japanese (JRA) and Latin American terrorist groups. We performed research that demonstrated how the various training models were reflected in group tactics and operations, and could be used as a predictor of tactical MO elements.
_____ Report: Terrorists cooperating in training Published: May 9, 2007 at 6:21 PM http://washtimes.com/upi/20070509-050054-6028 WASHINGTON, May 9 (UPI) -- A report from California-based RAND Corp. Wednesday found that terrorists of different ideologies have been exchanging skills by training with one another. A news release from the nonprofit think tank said that by training one another in areas such as guerrilla warfare and bomb-making, terrorist groups have been able to vastly improve their individual effectiveness. "Terrorist groups that have little in common and with very different goals are sharing knowledge for their mutual benefit, and that's bad news," report co-author Brian A. Jackson said. The report found that in addition to expanding as separate ideologies, such training exchanges have taken place between groups of different religious and ethnic backgrounds. "In most of the instances we studied, both groups experience some type of operational benefit from the effort," Jackson added. "It's that shared benefit that usually drives the relationship, not just shared philosophies or goals." Entitled "Sharing the Dragon's Teeth: Terrorist Groups and the Exchange of New Technologies," the report was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
