Foreshadowing appears throughout The Terrorist, often in conjunction with other literary techniques used so masterfully by the author. The mention of unattended luggage and packages is found at the very beginning of the novel and carried through to the final climax where Laura enters the airport filled with fear and the thought of bombs and terrorism. Furthermore, if one follows the text closely enough, one comes to realize that Jehran is pointed out as the terrorist from the very beginning of the novel through Cooney's small hints and clues. These clues and hints discussed throughout the elements of setting, themes, and characters are all part of foreshadowing and the creation of the feeling of foreboding, a technique that Cooney has mastered.
