intelligence gathering  

Definition

  • The targets of intelligence gathering related to terrorism are not terribly different from those related to traditional conflicts with nation-states. Intelligence services must collect information that will provide decision makers with knowledge of terrorist organizations, including their leaders, operatives, and supporters; their organizational infrastructure; and their financial and military resources.
