ABSTRACT
Terrorism is not a new phenomenon which has been in existence for years carried out by
individuals and organizations mainly for political reasons. Notwithstanding, due to the
activities of these terrorist groups, they will in general debilitate a state's capacity to guarantee
the wellbeing and security to its citizens. Using Al-Qaeda as a case study, a group in existence
for over 2 decades, the study focuses on their terror acts such as the bombing of train stations
in Madrid 2004, and London 2005, the Bali club bombing, and how it has impacted the world
at large, economically, psychologically, and socially. More so, for the objective of the study to
be achieved, the study made use of qualitative research to analyze the subject of this research
work. In the context of theoretical framework, the theory of Realism was used. Based on the
findings the study concludes that the US assemble and sponsor terror networks mostly for short
term purposes and where they are no longer useful, they are disposed, although sometimes
disposing such network is not the easiest of tasks. Political intentions remain the major link
between terrorism and global security with major actors, while promotion of religious
ideologies come as the minor indications because they are not which much state sponsorship
like the political element. Regarding the specific impacts of terrorism on Economic Security,
findings includes the reduction of FDI, reduced capital inflows, stalls stock markets, shifts
investment both capital and labour. It ushers in higher uncertainty thus reducing confidence
among potential investors. The study recommends an understanding of the adaptive and
resilient nature of transnational terrorist groups is critical. By incorporating this data into
antiterrorist doctrine, strategy, and tactics, which various actors in the fight against terrorism
can adjust their operations to meet the changing demands of the security environment against
a dynamic enemy such as Al Qaeda.
