Abstract
The cycle of violence perpetrated from using targeted killing techniques contributes to the creation of new extremists. Targeting, profiling, harassing, and killing suspected extremists by opposing groups promote terrorism, feed into the narrative of oppressed versus oppressor, and fuel the passion for revenge. Until it is revealed why martyrdom and extremism are so attractive to potential terrorist recruits, the allurement continues without resolution. Terrorism has been a growing threat over the last two decades, with recruits growing daily. While there have been numerous worldwide strategies to combat terrorism, the results are disproportionate. This research examines targeting tactics that catapult fear, paranoia, and despair in the Federally Administrated Tribal Areas of Pakistan. It identifies the impact of the western world’s view and how targeted killing potentially affect the future of Islamic extremism. It critically examines the cycle of terror through the lens of terror management theory via first-hand media reports, interviews, and compares those to contrast to recruitment tactics and attacks.
