NATIONAL DRUG INTELLIGENCE CENTER - Established in 1993, the National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) is a component of the U.S. Department of Justice and a member of the Intelligence Community. The General Counterdrug Intelligence Plan, signed by the President in February 2000, designated NDIC as the nation's principal center for strategic domestic counter-drug intelligence. It supports national policymakers and law enforcement with strategic domestic drug intelligence. It includes national drug threat assessments, state reports, drug type threat assessments, bulletins, and briefs. It includes detailed information on drug availability, demand, production, transportation, and more, for drugs such as cocaine, crack, heroin, methamphetamine, marijuana, MDMA, club drugs, GHB, hallucinogens like LSD, PCP, and pharmaceutical narcotics, depressants, and stimulants. A narco-terrorist organization is an organized group that is complicit in the activities of drug trafficking to further or fund premeditated, politically motivated violence to influence a government or group of people. Although the DEA does not specifically target terrorists, some of the powerful international drug trafficking organizations targeted have never hesitated to use violence and terror to advance their interests. DEA has identified seventeen Foreign Terrorist Organizations, as designated by the Department of State, with potential ties to the drug trade. More generally, drugs and terror frequently share a common ground of geography, money, and violence.
