Abstract
This paper analyses terrorism attacks against USA citizens in Africa from 1978 to 2002 using ITERATE data set. The fractional integration methodology is adopted. It is shown that attacks to USA citizens in Africa are persistent and perpetuated in countries characterised by poverty and low level of political and economic freedom. Policy implications are derived for countering acts of terrorism.
