Abstract
Whilst the factors which influence terrorist target selection can be determined, it is more difficult to generalise about how they interact. This is because, despite surface similarities, each terrorist group is unique in its personnel, its ideology, and the environment within which it operates. Therefore, one must avoid creating models or theories which are so specific that, whilst they may fit some groups like a glove, are inappropriate to others.
