  • The terrorist attack of September $11^{th}$ 2001 has enforced a new examination of the response of modern steel structures, such as those found in large warehouses, auditoriums and airport terminals, to terrorist bomb attack. The effort described in this paper assesses the potential damage to such a newly designed structure form a medium-size car bomb. The structure is mostly composed of a lightweight complex beam structure with large windows and skylights piercing through a corrugated roof. The structural response to the terrorist attack requires the modelling of various physics phenomena including bomb detonation, blast wave propagation, reflections, and refractions and resulting blast impact on the structure. Hence, a fluid/structure coupled methodology is used to perform the assessment.

  • 테러리즘의 핵심적 목표는 계획적 사회혼란과 심리적 공포의 확산을 통해 정치적, 이념적, 종교적 등의 이해에 유리한 여건을 조성하는 것이다. 따라서 테러집단은 폭력적 충격을 통해 대중적인 심리적 공포를 확산시킬 수 있는 수단과 방법을 최대한 동원한다. 또한 테러리즘은 현대문명의 발전과 국제사회구조를 반영하면서 개념과 수단 방법 등이 유기체적으로 진화하게 된다. 현대 테러리즘의 특징은 테러리즘이 비국가 무장단체의 국가를 상대로 한 전쟁의 수단으로 진화하였으며, 자살폭탄테러는 테러를 통한 국제정치의 일환으로 이슬람 극단 테러조직의 전략에 부합됨으로써 유행처럼 확산되고 있다는 점이다. 인류의 테러리즘의 위협으로부터 해방되기 노력은 무력에 의한 조급한 정책을 십 수년간 실행하여 왔으나 실효성 있는 결과를 얻지 못했으며, 자살폭탄테러라는 극단적인 위협이 확산되는 상황에 직면했다. 자살폭탄테러의 예방은 자살폭탄테러범의 심리적 범행동기를 고려하여 병리현상의 치료와 같은 개념으로 종교적 이질감과 문명에 대한 적대감을 해소함으로써 자살공격의 기반을 줄여나가는 노력을 지속적으로 진행하여 나가야 한다.

  • This study concerns possible measures to prevent separatists' terrorist acts against overseas Korean businessmen. Of late, many Korean enterprises are helping a number of foreign countries develop their economy, by building factories and manning regional offices in those countries. But recent development of terrorism especially against Korean businessmen is alarming. This report discusses the need for Korean enterprises heading overseas to prepare themselves with awareness of terrorism and possible protective measures against it, besides their routine pursuance of profits; and for the government and prospective enterprises to refrain from investing in those countries having active separatist movements. If an investment has become inevitable, a careful survey of the region in conflict should be conducted and self-protective measures should be put in place through security information exchange, emergency coordination and training of personnel, etc. This study will first review the past terrorist incidents involving employees of overseas Korean enterprises, and then will focuss on seeking effective measures on the basis of the reported incidents. In carrying out the study, related literature from both home and abroad have been used along with the preliminary materials reported and known on the Internet from recent incidents. 1. The separatist movements of minority groups Lately, minority separatist groups are increasingly resorting to terrorism to draw international attention with the political aim of gaining extended self rule or independence. 2. The state of terrorism against overseas Korean enterprises and Koreans Korean enterprises are now operating businesses, and having their own personnel stationed, in 85 countries including those in South East Asia and Middle East regions. In Sri Lanka, where a Korean enterprise recently became a target of terrorist bombing, there are 75 business firms from Korea and some 700 Korean employees are stationed as of August 1996. A total of 19 different terrorist incidents have taken place against Koreans abroad since 1990. 3. Terrorism preventive measures Terrorism preventive measures are discussed in two ways: measures by the government and by the enterprises. ${\blacktriangleleft}$ Measures by the government - Possible measures at governmental level can include collection and dissemination of terrorist activity information. Emphasis should be given to the information on North Korean activities in particular. ${\blacktriangleleft}$ Measures by individual enterprises - Organizational security plan must be established by individual enterprises and there should also be an increase of security budget. A reason for reluctant effort toward positive security plan is the perception that the security budget is not immediately linked to an increment of profit gain. Ensuring safety for overseas personnel is a fundamental obligation of an enterprise. Consultation and information exchange on security plan, and an emergency support system at a threat to security must be sought after and implemented. 4. Conclusion Today's terrorism varies widely depending on reasons and causes, and its means has become increasingly informationalized and scientific as well while its method is becoming more clandestine and violent. Terrorist organizations are increasingly aiming at enterprises for acquisition of budgets needed for their activities. Korean enterprises have extended their business realm to foreign countries since 1970, exposing themselves to terrorism. Enterprises and their employees, therefore, should establish their own security measures on the one hand while the government must provide general measures, on the other, for the protection of the life and property of Korean residents abroad from terrorist attacks. In this regard, set-up of a counter terrorist organization that coordinates the efforts of government authorities in various levels in planning and executing counter terrorist measures is desired. Since 1965, when the hostile North Korea began to step up its terrorist activities against South Koreans, there have been 7 different occasions of assassination attempt on South Korean presidents and some 500 cases of various kidnappings and attempted kidnappings. North Korea, nervous over the continued economic growth and social stabilization of South Korea, is now concentrating its efforts in the destruction and deterioration of the national power of South Korea for its earlier realization of reunification by force. The possibility of North Korean terrorism can be divided into external terrorist acts and internal terrorist acts depending on the nationality of the terrorists it uses. The external terrorist acts include those committed directly by North Korean agents in South Korea and abroad and those committed by dissident Koreans, hired Korean residents, or international professionals or independent international terrorists bought or instigated by North Korea. To protect the life and property of Korean enterprises and their employees abroad from the threat of terrorism, the government's administrative support and the organizational efforts of enterprises should necessarily be directed toward the planning of proper security measures and training of employees. Also, proper actions should be taken against possible terrorist acts toward Korean business employees abroad as long as there are ongoing hostilities from minority groups against their governments.

  • 9.11 테러 이전에는 동남아시아는 상대적으로 테러의 무풍지대로 인식되어 왔다. 그러나 2000년대에 들어서면서 테러의 새로운 중심지로 부상하고 있다. 9.11 테러 이후 국제사회는 동남아시아의 테러단체와 알카에다의 관계에 대해 주목하면서 동남아시아가 알카에다를 포함한 수많은 테러조직의 본거지로 변모할 가능성에 대한 분석을 내놓기 시작했다. 전문가들 역시 동남아시아가 테러의 태동지이며, 화약고였던 중동지역에 못지않은 알카에다의 주요 활동지역이며, 앞으로 동남아시아에서 이슬람원리주의 테러조직과 연계된 테러조직의 활동이 더욱 커질 것 이라 지적해 왔다. 알카에다와 강한 테러 네트워크를 구성하고 있는 제마 이슬라미아, 그리고 아부 사에프 그룹 등과 같은 테러조직의 활동이 강화되고 있으며, 국제 교류와 국제간의 주요 무역로인 해상 수송을 위협하는 해적행위 등으로 인해 동남아시아는 새로운 테러의 중심지로 등장하고 있는 상황이다. 전 세계가 테러에 대한 공포로 시달리고 있는 상황에서 동남아시아에서의 테러리즘 확산은 주목할 만한 현상이며, 깊은 연구가 필요할 것이다. 이에 따라 본 연구의 목적은 동남아시아의 테러리즘에 대한 자료를 분석함으로써, 동남아시아가 새로운 테러의 진원지로 등장할 가능성을 전망하는 데 있다.

  • 2001년 9.11 테러 이후 미국은 테러와의 전쟁을 선포하면서 아프가니스탄과 이라크침공하여 단기간에 정규전 승리를 이끌었다. 하지만 이후 발생한 다수의 테러를 통제하지 못해 전후 국가 재건을 돕는 안정화 작전에 상당시간이 소요되면서, 전후 테러활동의 분석에 대한 관심이 높아지게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 시공간 종속성을 반영하는 베이지안 계층 모형을 이용해 2003년부터 2010년까지 이라크에서 발생한 테러 자료를 기반으로 시·공간 요인, 자치구별 인구·종교와 같은 예측 변수들과 자치구별 테러 빈도수와의 관계를 분석하고, 2011년의 테러 위협을 예측하였다. 이렇게 구한 예측치를 바탕으로 해당지역 담당 군 지휘관이 효율적인 부대 배치를 통해 테러방지에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • 21세기 국가위기환경은 변화의 탬포가 빠르고 유동적이면서 국가안보위협의 유형과 주체가 다양해지고, 그 결과 위협의 진단과 대처가 과거에 비해 훨씬 큰 불확실성 속에서 이루어진다는 특징을 가지고 있다. 폭력에 의하여 인간의 고귀한 생명과 그들이 가진 재산을 송두리째 파괴하는 테러리즘은 세계화 정보화 시대의 기술발전과 맞물리면서 이 세상 거의 모든 국가나 공동체 그리고 개인이 테러리즘으로부터 안심할 수 없는 잠재적 공격대상이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전통적 테러리즘의 개념과 뉴테러리즘의 특징을 살펴보고, 테러리즘의 실태를 분석함으로써, 언제든지 우리나라도 테러리즘의 대상이 될 수 있고, 국민들 역시 테러리즘의 타겟이 될 수 있다는 현실적인 상황에서 국가위기관리 차원에서 테러리즘에 대한 대비와 정책적 제언을 하고자 한다.

  • Since the terrorist attacks 9.11 in 2001, the public places such as subway, department stores or office buildings have become a target of terror in major public facilities. In this paper, for the prevention of terrorist attack in domestic building, the assessments of terror risk were conducted and their relationship with building heights was discussed through FEMA 455-Rapid Visual Screening(RVS). Explosive terror risk tends to increase rapidly with building heights(H<230m), showing the correlation coefficient between total risk and building heights(H<230m) is 0.93. In addition, The average of consequences is 8.47 and that of' threat is 8.95. Vulnerability is found to be 6.62 in average.

  • South Korea opened Incheon international airport(IIA) in march 29, 2001, with high expectations of becoming the distribution hub of Northeast Asia and aiming at a world best air hub. IIA compares quite well with any other leading airports in the world in it's facilities for the movement of people and vehicles. However, with the sequence of events following the September, 2001. terrorist attack and the war in Iraq, South Korea, an ally of the US, cannot be considered a safe haven from terrorism. At a point in time when national security is given utmost importance, it is necessary to reevaluate the security of airports, because international terrorism can only occur via air and seaports. Nowadays all the countries of the world have entered into competition for their national interests and innovation of their images. with the increasing role of international airports also comes an increased likelihood as a terrorist target, because it can affect so many people and countries. From the condition of current international terrorism, we can realize that our IIA is not completely safe from a terrorist attack. The major part of counterterrorism is event control process. It's very important for quickly saves an accident and rescues a life of person, In addition for the normalization which the airport operation is prompt. In conclusion, we should secure the legal responsibility and establish and establish a system under which we can work actively in order to implement counter terror activities from being taken an airport.

  • In recent years, there is growing concern about the potential use of biological agents in war or acts of terrorism accompanied an increased realization that rapid preparedness and response are needed to prevent or treat the human damage that can be caused by these agents. The threat is indeed serious, and the potential for devastating numbers of casualties is high. The use of agents as weapons, even on a small scale, has the potential for huge social and economic disruption and massive diversion of regional and national resources to combat the threat, to treat primary disease, and to clean up environmental contamination. Biological weapons are one of weapons of mass destruction (or mass casualty weapons, to be precise. since they do not damage non-living entities) that are based on bacteria, viruses, rickettsia, fungi or toxins produced by these organisms. Biological weapons are known to be easy and cheap to produce and can be used to selectively target humans, animals, or plants. Theses agents can cause large numbers of casualties with minimal logistical requirements (in wide area). The spread of disease cannot be controlled until there is awareness of the signs of infection followed by identification of agents; and if the organism is easily spread from person to person, as in the case of smallpox, the number of casualties could run into the tens of thousands. Biological weapons could be used covertly, there can be a lot of different deployment scenarios. A lot of different agents could be used in biological weapons. And, there are a lot of different techniques to manufacture biological weapons. Terrorist acts that make use of Biological Agents differ in a number of ways from those involving chemicals. The distinction between terrorist and military use of Biological Weapon is increasingly problematic. The stealthy qualities of biological weapons further complicate the distinction between terrorism and war. In reality, all biological attacks are likely to require an integrated response involving both military and civilian communities. The basic considerations when public health agencies establish national defence plan against bioterrorism must be 1) arraying various laws and regulations to meet the realistic needs, 2)education for public health personnels and support of concerned academic society, 3)information collection and cooperative project with other countries, 4)Detection and surveillance(Early detection is essential for ensuring a prompt response to biological or chemical attack, including the provision of prophylactic medicines, chemical antidotes, or vaccines) and 5) Response(A comprehensive public health response to a biological or chemical terrorist event involves epidemiologic investigation, medical treatment and prophylaxis for affacted persons, and the initiation of disease prevention or environmental decontamination measures). The purpose of this paper is providing basic material of preparedness and response for biological terrorism in modern society.
