Özet:

Terrorism has become a major security problem for many countries over the time. Terrorist groups, having many different motives, have caused the death of thousands of people by performing attacks that affect the interests of the countries. Therefore, active, timely and correctly gathered intelligence is needed to prevent or at least minimize the impact of terrorist attacks.  On the other hand, being aware of the cultural sensitivities play a key role in preventing the support given to terrorism. In this study, cultural intelligence, which is needed to provide a cultural awareness is discussed. The purpose of this study is to examine intelligence, which is argued after every terrorist event or every unsuccessful operation against terrorism, in terms of cultural factors and stress the role of cultural intelligence in defence against terrorism. Firstly, the ideas of terror, defence against terrorism, intelligence and culture are defined. Secondly, the role of cultural intelligence indefence against terrorism is argued. Finally, a model about the gains related to cultural intelligence has been proposed.
