Cyberspace-A New Medium for Communication, Command, and Control by Extremists

Michael Whine, August 2010

Summary

During the 1970s and 1980s political extremism and terrorism frequently focused on “national liberation” and economic issues. The collapse of the Soviet bloc and the ending of its covert funding and encouragement of terrorism led to a decline in the militant and violent left-wing terrorist groups that were a feature of the age.
