By these assaults terrorists are communicating their overt purposes and try to implement secret goals. Overt purpose to restrict Western influence, implement shari’a law and Islamic state. Covert goal is to instinct interethnic conflicts. They are attacking on modernization, both traditional (and modern social structures; tribal system, political parties, elections. In spite of anti-imperialist rhetoric, Islamist militants are tools of economic interests of multinational concerns, and geo-politic regional maneuvers. By destroying educational infrastructure and by reducing employment opportunities to abolish rival labor force their aim strengthening dependence from external powers. Not only by assaulting infrastructure of particular countries, independence, economic and political stability, they are targeting the international relations of the countries of the region, by strengthening dependence from the uni-polar world order they are pawns of the power games of a formulating multi-polar world order.
