an intelligence bureau dedicated strictly to dealing with terrorism. All four of these countries "retain dedicated structures to collect, assess, and disseminate information on domestic terrorist challenges within their respective
territorial jurisdictions" (Chalk and Rosenau, 2004, p. xii). Perhaps the most important point here is that none of these agencies has the power of arrest and remains separate from law
