TERÖRLE MÜCADELEDE İSTİHBARATA BAŞVURU: AÇIK KAYNAK İSTİHBARATININ KULLANIMI

Abstract

Terörizm tecrübe edilen dönemin en önemli güvenlik meselelerinden birini oluşturmaktadır. İnsani, ulusal, bölgesel ve uluslararası düzeylerde ciddi bir tehdit olarak terörizmle ve imkân ve kabiliyetleri olağandışı bir gelişme gösteren terör örgütleriyle mücadele de bu bağlamda ciddi bir sorun olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada açık kaynak istihbaratının terörle mücadele içindeki rolü ele alınmaktadır. İstihbaratta toplamada başvurulan pek çok yöntem ve teknik bulunmaktadır. Açık kaynak istihbaratını özel kılan ise toplama faaliyetlerinde maliyet, erişilebilirlik, yasallık ve risk gibi kıstaslardaki avantajıdır. Terör örgütlerine karşı yürütülen mücadelede açık kaynaklardan toplananlar, istihbarat çarkına işlerlik kazandıran önemli girdilerdir. Çalışmada öncelikle istihbaratta toplama ve açık kaynak istihbaratı üzerine geniş bir çerçeve çizilecektir. Böylece bu konuda yapılacak araştırmalar için Türkçe literatüre mütevazı bir katkı sunulması planlamaktadır. İkinci bölümde ise terörle mücadele kapsamında istihbaratın rolü ve toplama faaliyetlerinde açık kaynak analizinin önemi ortaya konulmaya çalışılacaktır. Burada terör örgütleri ve faaliyetleriyle ilgili nelerin, nasıl ve ne ölçüde toplanılabildiği ifade edilecektir. Çalışma; karanlık internet konusunun da var olduğu bir değerlendirme ile sona erecektir.

APPLICATION TO INTELLIGENCE IN COUNTERTTERORISM: THE USE OF OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE

Abstract

Terrorism constitutes one of the most important security issues of the period experienced. The fight against terrorism as a serious threat at humanitarian, national, regional and international levels, and against terrorist organizations, whose capabilities and capabilities have shown an unusual development, also stands out as a serious problem in this context. This study examines the role of open source intelligence in the fight against terrorism. There are many methods and techniques used in intelligence gathering. What makes open source intelligence special is its advantage in terms of cost, accessibility, legality and risk in collection activities. In the fight against terrorist organizations, those gathered from open sources are important inputs that make the intelligence circle operational. In the study, first of all, a broad framework will be drawn on intelligence gathering and open source intelligence. Thus, it is planned to make a modest contribution to the Turkish literature on this subject. In the second part, the role of intelligence in counterterrorism applications and the importance of open source analysis in collection activities will be tried to be revealed. Here, what, how and to what extent can be gathered regarding terrorist organizations and their activities will be expressed. The study will end with an evaluation that includes the dark internet.
