When does leadership decapitation against terrorist groups cause their demise? This article reviews the existing body of literature concerning terrorist leadership targeting and identifies limitations in the prevailing approaches. As past attempts to gauge the efficacy of decapitation strategies are disputed, this article calls for a new methodology for conducting decapitation research. Deriving from two themes in the security literature works on leadership targeting in conventional warfare and counterterrorism, as well as studies of “informal” terrorist actors this article proposes that analysts and policymakers adopt a holistic framework for organizing knowledge around leadership decapitation.

Alderman Expects Quiet Day
Traditionally, National Signing Day is a time where high schoolers decide where they will spend the next three to five years of their college playing careers. As times change, especially regarding the impact of COVID-19, less and less players actually decide on this special day. Alderman says this is only amplified in Gainesville.
OFFENSE A-
Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough the offense could do in this game. The pressure was on right from the start when Alabama drove to a touchdown and never looked back in the first half. Florida only ran 25 plays in the first half thanks to its pathetic defense.
The first drive of the second half was a beauty to close the game to within 35-21.
The Gators scored 46 points and had 462 yards for the game. Kyle Trask was what we expected and both Kadarius Toney and Kyle Pitts went over 100 yards receiving. Give the offense credit for an amazing game. It just was not enough.
