“…Turning to social context variables, a majority of Autonomous and Volatile lone actors have ties to radical, extremist or terrorist (Schmid, 2011(Schmid, , 2013 individuals or groups (78% v 70% / 18 v 7 individuals). Strikingly, however, Volatiles are far less likely to have contacts with individuals who could be seen as leaders within those milieus (10% v 61% / 1 v 14 individuals) and they are only about half as likely to be integrated as formally or informally recognized members in such settings (30% v 57% / 3 v 13 individuals).…”

This article explores the link between radicalization patterns and modes of attack planning and preparation among lone-actor terrorists. Building on theorized patterns of lone-actor radicalization, we discuss and compare their modes of pre-attack behavior, including target and weapon choice, observance of operational security measures, likeliness of engaging in leakage behavior, and the overall amount of time devoted to these activities. This exploratory study builds upon a dataset of thirtythree lone-actor terrorist cases in North-America and Europe between 1986 and 2015. The analysis suggests that specific patterns of radicalization are linked to systematic differences in modes of attack planning and preparation. The results provide insights into the heterogeneity of terrorist involvement and tentatively suggest the potential importance for law-enforcement agencies in using case-specific knowledge on radicalization patterns to inform forecasts of likely pre-attack behaviors.ARTICLE HISTORY

“…In the area of intelligence, "it means widening surveillance nets, the identification of dangerous classes of people, increased use of profiling, increasing focus on radicalization to violence" (Schmid 2013). Pedahzur and Ranstorp quoted in (Crelinsten 2014) further elaborates that-"[T]hrough intrusive techniques involving surveillance, wiretapping, eavesdropping and other means of spy camera, agents of all stripes have devoted their energies more and more to stopping terrorists before they act and thwarting terrorist plots before they develop too far".…”

Modern life is simply impossible without information and communication technology (ICT). The pattern of interaction in ICT is increasing and changing our daily life unprecedentedly. Simultaneously terrorism through on and off digital domain is increasingly posing immense challenges to Bangladesh. Meanwhile technological capabilities of Bangladesh to intercept communications for investigation, forestallment and prosecution acts of terrorism and other serious crime have also been intensified. Hence counter-terrorism ventures by the states have jeopardized many human rights inter alia "right to privacy" of the people irrespective of terror affiliations. This article has endeavored to explore the discourse from legal perspective. It further tries to critically examine the underlying issues to sketch inherent tension between mass digital surveillance and protection of right to privacy. Considering the emerging evidences of terrorism in Bangladesh in digital form, this paper advocates for taking proactive counter terrorism ventures (i.e. digital surveillance) rightly premised on accessible legal regime. It calls for enacting an explicit and detailed laws premised on "legality and proportionality" principle on right to privacy to strike a proper balance. It concludes that Right to privacy is not adequately mainstreamed due to lack of equal compensatory provision within the newly enacted Cyber Security Act 2015 which necessitates amendment.
