It has all been done through a litteraturebased study.

My focuse has been on Al Qaida since it's is the only one of the three who is still active today and who, through its cellstructure, represents a new form of global terrorism that may have great influence on the structural patterns of other political groups and criminal organizations in the future.

Key words:

Al Qaida

Baader-Meinhof

IRA

Terrorism
