The three factors that led to the birth of transnational terrorism are:

These grievances can transcend national boundaries and lead to the formation of transnational terrorist networks.

These ideologies can attract individuals from different countries who share the same radical beliefs and are willing to engage in acts of terrorism to further their cause.
