Abstract
A control model is presented which studies optimal spending for the fight against terrorism. Under the assumptions that economic damages are larger the greater the number of terrorists and that the success of counter terror operations depends on public opinion, it is demonstrated that a so-called DNSS threshold may exist, separating the basin of attraction of optimal paths.
