Abstract
'Lone wolf' terrorism has been considered as a serious threat to public security in recent years. Moreover, it seems that this phenomenon is intensifying at an alarming pace. This paper will analyze and present the profile of lone terrorist actors and point out to sets of common ideological beliefs, psychological patterns, attributes, qualities, training and education among these individuals which lead to their planning or executing terrorist events. The concept of the 'lone wolf' terrorist is increasingly common in recent decades, often attracting media attention as a 'new' and 'dangerous' threat. It is a growing phenomenon, but research on this topic has been accompanied by major shortcomings, because this type of violence may be one of the most mysterious and unforeseeable forms of terrorism. In fact, these individuals are a nightmare for the police and the intelligence community, because it is extremely difficult to detect them and ensure adequate protection against them.
