Computational Analysis of Terrorist Groups: Lashkar-e-Taiba provides an in-depth look at
Web intelligence, and how advanced mathematics and modern computing technology
can influence the insights we have on terrorist groups. This book primarily focuses on one
famous terrorist group known as Lashkar-e-Taiba (or LeT), and how it operates. After 10
years of counter Al Qaeda operations, LeT is considered by many in the counter-terrorism
community to be an even greater threat to the US and world peace than Al Qaeda.
Computational Analysis of Terrorist Groups: Lashkar-e-Taiba is the first book that
demonstrates how to use modern computational analysis techniques including methods
for “big data” analysis. This book presents how to quantify both the environment in which
LeT operate, and the actions it took over a 20-year period, and represent it as a relational
database table. This table is then mined using sophisticated data mining algorithms in
order to gain detailed, mathematical, computational and statistical insights into LeT and
its operations. This book also provides a detailed history of Lashkar-e-Taiba based on
extensive analysis conducted by using open source information and public statements.
