Terminology and Abbreviations In the writing of this book, we noted that there are many versions of the spelling for well-known terrorist groups. To reduce the chaos, we de- cided to use the United Nations spelling of Da’esh in place of Daesh, Is- lamic State, ISIS, ISIL, and IS, and we used the United Nations spelling of Al-Qaida for al Qaida, Al Qaeda, and al-Qaeda throughout the book. All others are as noted next. AMIA Argentine Israelite Mutual Association AQ/Al-Qaida Al Qaeda, Al Qaida AQAM Al Qaeda and Associated Movements AQAP Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula AQI Al-Qaida in Iraq AQIM Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (formerly GSPC) ASG Abu Sayyaf Group (Philippines) AUC United Self-Defense Groups of Colombia BAC Hezbollah’s External Security Organization Business Affairs Component BACRIM Bandas Criminals (Colombia) Bayat/Bay’at oath of allegiance to a Muslim leader BIF Benevolence International Foundation CE Caucasus Emirate ChRI Chechen Republic of Ichkeria
