What are the main characteristics of the lone wolf terrorist?

What will be an ideal response?


Lone wolf terrorists usually operate outside the direct influence of a leader, although they may claim to be acting on behalf of a special interest group. They rarely belong to organized terrorist groups or networks. They carefully plan their attacks and usually act alone, although they may use the help of one or two other individuals. They demonstrate poor interpersonal and social skills and often live alone. They are more likely than other terrorists to be emotionally disturbed or mentally disordered in the clinical sense.
