This study proposes an architecture for the prediction of extremist human behaviour from projected suicide bombings. By linking 'dots' of police data comprising scattered information of people, groups, logistics, locations, communication, and spatiotemporal characters on different social media groups, the proposed architecture will spawn beneficial information. This useful information will, in turn, help the police both in predicting potential terrorist events and in investigating previous events. Furthermore, this architecture will aid in the identification of criminals and their associates and handlers. Terrorism is psychological warfare, which, in the broadest sense, can be defined as the utilisation of deliberate violence for economic, political or religious purposes. In this study, a supervised learning-based approach was adopted to develop the proposed architecture. The dataset was prepared from the suicide bomb blast data of Pakistan obtained from the South Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP). As the proposed architecture was simulated, the supervised learning-based classifiers naïve Bayes and Hoeffding Tree reached 72.17% accuracy. One of the additional benefits this study offers is the ability to predict the target audience of potential suicide bomb blasts, which may be used to eliminate future threats or, at least, minimise the number of casualties and other property losses.

“…However, individual life and threat to the peace and social harmony have been at a greater risk as perceived or actual by the violent terrorist acts and the activities of religious extremist groups not only in Pakistan (Rasheed & Khalid, 2016) but around the world (Underhill, 2011;May et al, 2011;Cohen-Louck, 2016). Pakistan has observed multiple terrorist attacks including extremist clashes in universities, suicide bombings and terrorist attacks on schools and religious places (Rasheed and Khalid, 2016). According to some source there were 2,586 terrorist attacks in Pakistan with highest reported incidents as 1137 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and lowest as 30 in Sindh and 12 in Islamabad in 2009 (Underhill, 2011: 109).…”

Terrorism disturbs social integration by creating fear for people of becoming victims of its harmful results. People who exposed to violent conditions and poor socioeconomic conditions relatively develop feelings of anxiety and frustration, and risk of becoming potential victims on social, physical and emotional grounds. After 9/11, with world, Pakistan has observed sporadic series of terrorism and violent extremist bouts which have been analyzed arising from disorderly conditions on political, social, religious and economic levels. Vulnerability of becoming victim of terrorism has equally developed which has deeply affected the emotional response of people to a greater extent. How people perceive the threat of terrorism has not been studied in the Pakistani context on theoretical and methodological levels. It is expected that understanding of this problem will provide better insights for people, policymakers and academicians to devise effective polices for creating chances of peace and healthy environment.
