Note that target attractiveness itself includes the factors of consequences and vulnerability. Target attractiveness is an aggregate of factors, which shows the complexity of the process of targeting. Consequences are listed again separately since they have such importance in targeting.
The consideration of possible threats should include internal threats, external threats, and internally assisted threats(i.e., collusion between insiders and outside agents). The selection of the threats should include reasonable local, regional, or national intelligence information, where available.
