The paper should be double-spaced, 12-point font (usually Times New Roman), 1-inch margins, and using APA format. Include the page numbers and header in the format.

You should include a map (with citation) in your report that, at minimum, identifies the location of each site discussed. [CLO#1; Application]National Scale Analysis:Describe and analyze at least 4 of the elements of Syria’s “Contemporary Operational Environment” (i.e., the physical and/or human characteristics of the region which contribute to the occurrence of terrorist activity). In so doing, you should discuss the extent to which these elements illustrate the typical conditions found in areas where terrorist activity is most common. [CLO#2; Analysis]International Scale Evaluation:Evaluate the impact terrorism has had in Syria you are studying both regionally (i.e., in any neighboring countries) as well as globally (i.e., in countries outside the immediate region). You should discuss whether you think the terrorist actions taken were the most effective means for the group/organization to achieve its stated objectives. [CLO#4; Evaluation]Case Study Lessons/Conclusion:Summarize what you believe this case study demonstrates about the root causes of terrorism and propose an action plan that you think could be implemented in order to help diminish the threat of future terrorist activity within this country. [CLO#3; Synthesis]Works Cited:List, alphabetically, any sources you cited within the paper (Note: You must have at least 8 different sources) using APA documentation style. Be advised that this means you must also have used parenthetical citations within the paper itself. [Technical Skill in Communication]
