This paper advances the first results of a research project on the activity and organizational structure of jihadist terrorism in Western Europe. At the same time offers an empirical contribution to the theoretical debate on the nature of such terrorism; specifically on the relevance of forma organizations, particularly Al Qaeda Central, and its implications. To do this we have gathered information from open sources on a sample of 85 terrorist incidents between 2001 and 2010.

Adapted from the source document.
