    It depends on the relationship of different countries, some countries are known to support certain terrorist organizations so it would not be prudent to share intelligence with those specifically.

If allies have partial information, that when combined, result in the ability to combat terrorism, then it should be shared. However, a country with a lot of intelligence which is reliable may be able to combat terrorism on its own. So, in other words, the sharing of intelligence between countries may be sufficient to combat international terrorism, but not necessary. Read Less

    Sharing information depends on how comfortable a country is with other nations. The U.S does not share all their intel with their allies for certain reasons.

    I think it depends a lot on context in terms of the situation, what nations are involved, what the intelligence is, and what it will be used for.

Regardless of the countries/groups and who deems who the terrorist, logistically combating it requires a great deal of cooperation to be effective. Read Less
