    Abstract
    Lone wolf terrorism is arguably becoming one of the most attractive means of trends in terrorism. Identifying a growing pattern of a domino effect after a terrorist attack, post- Easter Sunday attack tenure in the present Sri Lanka seems a high possibility of inspiring radicalization for a future lone wolf terrorist attac. Moreover, the current COVID-19 pandemic seems to facilitate the grooming of lone wolves due to isolation policies, increased usage of social media and further even to launch an attack since the attention of the National Security has shifted away from terrorism to health and safety. In this backdrop, this paper focuses on whether Sri Lanas net terrorist attack would be a lone wolf attack. To find feasible solutions, the methodology adopted in this paper is qualitative based on both primary and secondary sources. The main objective of this study was to prevent the next terrorist attack in Sri Lanka. To achieve this objective the research proposed an actionplan to prevent any possible attack and emphasize the importance of civil-military nexus in State intelligence.
