While al Qaeda has experienced considerable losses, particularly since the death of its leader Osama bin Laden in May 2011, the organization has also found success in such places as Yemen and North Africa. Moreover, several global trends—austerity, resource scarcity, and the technological empowerment of non-state actors—promise to make the problem of non-state violence a growing rather than declining problem over the next decade. Canada will not be immune. This volume examines the problem set of terrorism in Canada. It traces the history of this phenomenon, examines specific issues (the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, Shabaab recruitment among Canadian Somalis, Hizballah’s support network, and Iran’s presence), and identifies the tools that Canada can employ to address these threats.
