University Radicalization [Recurso electrónico] PDF : pakistan’s Next Counterterrorism Challenge

By: Material type: ArticleDescription: Recurso onlineSubject(s): Online resources: In: CTC Sentinel CTC Sentinel . -- Vol. 9 Issue 2 (Feb. 2016) p. 4-8Summary: Militancy on university campuses is quickly becoming Pakistan’s next major counterterrorism challenge. Since Pakistan launched its National Action Plan to counter terrorism in December 2014, military and paramilitary operations have resulted in the detention and killing of thousands of suspected militants across the country. But there is no strategy yet to confront what officials fear is growing radicalization among Pakistan’s affluent, middle-class population, particularly university students. Although more research is needed before definitive conclusions can be made, Pakistan’s campus radicalization is a trend with global security implications. Militants with higher education are better positioned to plan sophisticated attacks, infiltrate elite government and military circles, and facilitate increased connections between Pakistan-based groups and transnational movements.
