[Deep Dive Interview]
The Oklahoma City bombing of 1995… The 2011 Norway attacks… The 2016 Nice truck attack… The 2019 Christcurch, New Zealand shootings…
What do all these attacks have in common? They were all formulated, planned and executed by a single individual.
The popular fear of lone actor attacks is that they are completely unpredictable and so almost impossible to prevent. We speak to Dr. Francis O’Connor, an expert on lone actor radicalisation. Dr. O’connor and his colleagues have been funded by the EU Commission to research lone actor attacks.
They have collected what they think is the largest dataset of lone actor attacks and attackers in the western world dating from 1990 until the present.
