[ Your Name ] would like to inform you about this article on Complexity Digest 2003.18 - 19.03 http://comdig.unam.mx/index.php?id_issue=2003.18#11381 05-May-2003 [ Your Message ] Mapping Opaque Networks, Business Times Excerpts: Terrorist networks are very secretive, and so they operate in small cells that interconnect only intermittently, and through limited numbers of people.
