請依下文回答第 59 題至第 60 題:      The linkages between terrorism and organized crime are multifaceted and can manifest themselvesin different ways. Generally speaking, terrorist groups and organized crime groups (OCGs) have in theorydistinct objectives. Terrorist groups deliberately challenge State authority and seek to produce politicalchange through violent means; their motivations are related to several factors, including, but not limitedto ideological ones. OCGs on the other hand typically engage in secret operations so as to obtain a financialor other material benefit while avoiding detection by law enforcement authorities. Rather than aiming toeffect political change, the disruption they seek to impose on territories under State authority is meant toperpetuate conditions that are beneficial to their operations.     In practical terms, the linkages between terrorism and organized crime become apparent most notablyin the financing of terrorism. In other cases, these linkages may involve the smuggling of migrants andillicit arms trafficking involving small arms, light weapons and other military equipment, car theft, illicitmineral extraction, kidnapping for ransom, drug trafficking, trafficking in other illicit goods. Instancesinvolving OCGs facilitating the transport of terrorists across borders activities also represent possiblescenarios where these two phenomena become intertwined.

恐怖主義和有組織犯罪之間的聯繫是多方面的,可以以不同的方式表現出來。一般來說,恐怖組織和有組織犯罪集團(OCG)在理論上有不同的目標。恐怖組織故意挑戰國家權威,並試圖通過暴力手段產生政治變革;其動機與若干因素有關,包括但不限於意識形態因素。另一方面,OCG通常從事秘密行動,以獲得經濟或其他物質利益,同時避免被執法當局發現。他們不是為了實現政治變革,而是試圖對國家管轄的領土進行破壞,目的是使有利於其行動的條件長期存在。     在實踐中,恐怖主義和有組織犯罪之間的聯繫在資助恐怖主義方面表現得最為明顯。在其他情況下,這些聯繫可能涉及偷運移民和涉及小武器、輕武器和其他軍事裝備的非法武器販運、汽車盜竊、非法開採礦產、綁架勒索、販毒、販運其他非法貨物。涉及OCG為恐怖分子的跨境運輸活動提供便利的情況,也是這兩種現象交織在一起的可能情況。這段話的目的是什麼?(A) 它提供了打擊這兩類犯罪的解決方案。(B) 它認為,如果意識形態問題能夠得到解決,有組織犯罪集團和恐怖主義集團是可以和解的。(C) 它顯示了恐怖組織如何資助有組織犯罪集團的行動。(D) 它顯示了這些有組織犯罪集團和恐怖主義集團是如何經常聯合起來的。
