In 2016, through a video message, spokesperson of the Islamic state in Iraq, Abu Mohammed al-Adnani urged its sympathizers residing in Europe and USA and who cannot travel to Syria or Iraq for caliphate to wage lone wolf attacks on the civilians residing in their respective cities. He further insisted and encouraged to wage these attacks in month of Ramadan to get awards of Martyrdom. The recent attacks in Paris , Gay club in Orlando and Australia and other parts of the world have left the intelligence agencies toothless. The origin of LWA is very old but the recent trends can be traced back to 2003 when the Al- Qaida Commander in an article urged the sympathizers not to wait for any directions but to inflict damage to civilian and Government targets in their respective locations. Subsequently there have been lot of articles appeared on social media urging the sympathizers to wage LWA and in 2006 an article by Abu Jihad a leader of Al-Qaida “ How to fight alone” was circulated widely in Jihadi network all over the globe. The anonymous nature of internet suits the Lone Wolf Terrorist as even in conventional terrorism Guerilla tactics is used.
For Intelligence and law enforcement agencies, a lone wolf terrorist is more difficult to trace as he/she is not physically affiliated to any terrorist organisation. Lone Wolf Attacks are different from conventional terrorist attacks given that they are carried out without any help or direction from any larger organisation and are therefore difficult to predict as intelligence gathering about such attacks is also comparatively difficult. Lone wolf attackers are influenced by the ideology and any incidence around them can trigger violence by the attacker. Radicalization through social media feeds a LW attacker; earlier the radicalization happened through literature, books and other print material but the cyber space has widened the reach and increased their presence globally. Moreover internet has become an effective medium to acquire knowledge about location where they intend to attack and about the weapons etc to be used in the operation.
The LW attackers are mainly targeting the Western liberal democracies and they project it as Jihad between West vs Rest. Self – Radicalization is spreading its wings worldwide and increasing religious intolerance in younger generation is resulting in violence. The clash of civilizations may be another major reason for the increasing radicalization and the role o Theologians which results in indoctrination worsens the issue further. The coercive methods used by the States makes the issue more complex nevertheless the efforts to address this issue should involve inclusive measures and in the age of Globalisation the fruits should be shared with every section of the society residing in any look and corner of the world.
