| summary | Here's a summary of the Insider article "Malcolm Cowley and the Triumph of Terrorism: The Rise of Carlos the Jackal, the Most Feared Terrorist of the 1970s": The article explores how Malcolm Cowley, a former CIA officer, profoundly shaped the understanding and response to terrorism in the 1970s. Cowley argued that terrorism wasn’t simply irrational violence, but a calculated strategy employed by states – particularly Cuba and the Soviet Union – to achieve geopolitical goals. He coined the term "state terrorism" to describe this deliberate use of violence by governments. The piece focuses heavily on the rise of Carlos the Jackal (Ilias Kashmiri), a shadowy figure orchestrating bombings and assassinations across Europe and the Middle East. Cowley’s analysis attributed Carlos's success to the Soviet Union’s strategic support and training, demonstrating a shift from the conventional notion of terrorism as the work of lone fanatics. Ultimately, the article argues that Cowley’s work, though initially controversial, fundamentally altered the way Western intelligence agencies and policymakers understood and countered terrorism, shifting the focus from simply punishing individuals to recognizing and confronting state-sponsored campaigns of terror. It highlights a key moment in the development of modern counter-terrorism strategy. |
