Abstract
In the 21th century, terrorism has distinct trends and attributes. Although terrorism is not confined to this century, but global Attention more than ever was drawn to terrorist organizations and groups after September 11, 2001. In fact this was the time when terrorism and how to fight against it became one of the paradigms of analyzing in international relations and global politics. Given the growing level of terrorist threats, its international scope and the possibility of using unconventional weapons, it seems necessary to explain and recognize future trends of the global terrorism for confronting it. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to answer this question that “what changes are going to happen to trends, methods and activities of terrorist groups”. Analyzing the existing data based on trend analysis indicates that: terrorists will seek more unconventional weapons, cyber and Internet terrorism will increase and Terrorists will do more suicide Attacks and foreign terrorist fighters will manage future terrorist organizations.
