The Big Bang happened on 9/11/01, when 19 al-Qaida affiliated Islamic terrorists hijacked 4 commercial airliners. The story is well known: we witnessed an event, which was been until then considered “Unbelievable”. Three years later was the turn of Madrid and in 2005 London. This year the “Intercontinental Terror & Co. Inc“ thought well to target an Asian Country: India. Even on this occasion the strategists of terror based their plan exploiting a crucial factor: the timing.
Unlike the other elements (logistic, choice of the targets etc) a right timing can produce the greatest damage on a global level, causing indirect effects on a large scale.
To be mainly affected by the shock wave caused by such “terror attacks of the new generation”, -apart of the loss the lives- is the financial economy.
Since September 2001 a general climate of insecurity is gripping the financial markets, several long term investments have been frozen or diverted, the map of places where to invest has undergone significant changes. This of course facilitates the growth of wide ranged speculations, and it is in this area that terror orgs´ managers are able to interact effectively. Masking themselves behind the appearance of fervent religious observant, these “characters” in reality devote their attention to the evolution of financial markets
analysing the possible reactions to a given event in a certain place at any given circumstances. Examining the latest series of attacks, we may deduce that the primary objective of al-Qaida is to undermine relations between two countries, India and Pakistan. India is undergoing a fast economic growth while the second is on the way to inclusion in various sectors of the global economy. The theatre is Asia, a Continent where political and economical divergences could have unpredictable repercussions worldwide. A scenario that al Qaida & Co has already provided and will not hesitate to take once more advantage of its effects in order to finance future terror projects.
