It is clear that in an effort to combat terrorism, every country responsible to its citizenry has had to raise a special force trained with specific talents and capabilities required in that new battle. As you might imagine, today's counter terrorist units, are also among the world's elite military teams. Thus we are able to list both the Elite Military Teams with the clear knowlege that from these ranks are chosen those who would be combatants in the war against terrorism.
Little is known about the makeup or techniques employed at any given time, so we choose not to speculate beyond what has been made public over the course of the last ten to fifteen years. We are sure these elite military teams are at the cutting edge of technology, techniques and weaponry. Or so we hope.
Below we list the known special forces units in the world. We note when it is thought the primary or secondary mission of the unit is counter-terrorism, but as was noted earlier, all these units can be called upon to donate members for training in counter terrorism, or may in fact be part of or support of a force performing counter-terrorism actvities.

* = following the disasterous Iranian Hostage Rescue attempt, U.S. special forces has been going through a series of major changes. U.S. Special Forces from all services are now combined in the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), with a General (probably two star or above) officer as the leader reporting, most likely, to the Secretary of Defense and thus only one step from the President of the United States.
** = The breakup of the former Soviet Union has had demonstratitive effects upon all facets of the Soviet military. The remaining Confederation of Russian States has absorbed much of the military units of the former USSR. It is not clear which country has kept Spetsnaz, but odds are that the units are now part of a special forces team in Russia. Whether the reporting structure is to Putin as the leader of Russia, or to Putin as the leader of the Confederation, it is clear that if such a unit exists, we can probably figure who has the ultimate authority over their activities.
