The Fairytale of the Poor and Angry Terrorists
Former DAAD/AICGS Fellow Alexander Ritzmann writes about the thwarted terrorist attack at Fort Dix and how this attack should change some common perceptions of what a terrorist's background typically is. Ritzmann concludes that the myths about the socio-economic root causes of terrorism can no longer be furthered, as doing so could only lead to greater trouble later on.
