Abstract

The global terrorism database (GTD) shows that 3.5% of the total terror attacks across the world between 1970 to 2019 were targeted at tourists. A terror attack can be perpetrated by either a lone wolf or an affiliated terrorist. The analysis of the GTD conducted in this study shows that a terror attack targeted at tourists is 4.3 times more likely to have been perpetrated by a lone wolf than by affiliated terrorists. Since lone wolves operate individually, this finding implies that access control measures at tourist centers must regard individuals such as hawkers, newspaper vendors, freelance journalists, etc. who come around to do various businesses around tourists as potential terrorists until proven otherwise. Since lone wolves do not work for a terror group, tourist attraction centers located in the regions, territories, and countries with no presence of terror groups must not relax their counterterrorism control measures under the impression that they are safe from terror attacks.

独狼vs附属恐怖分子
全球恐怖主义数据库(GTD)显示,1970年至2019年期间,全球恐怖袭击总数的3.5%是针对游客的。恐怖袭击既可能是独狼所为,也可能是有关联的恐怖分子所为。本研究对GTD进行的分析表明,针对游客的恐怖袭击由独狼实施的可能性是附属恐怖分子的4.3倍。由于孤狼是单独行动的,这一发现意味着,在证明事实并非如此之前,旅游中心的门禁措施必须将小贩、报贩、自由记者等在游客周围做各种生意的个人视为潜在的恐怖分子。“孤狼”不会为恐怖组织效力,因此,在没有恐怖组织的地区、领土、国家的旅游中心,不能给人以“不受恐怖袭击”的印象,放松反恐控制措施。
