Offline Vs Cyber --- Probably, yes and no in the same time. While the same conditions can be fertile ground for cyberterrorism or online violent extremism I think that such devastated societies don't have the financial means nor prerequisites to gather enough state of the art hardware/software nor train many cyber attackers as rich countries have. How many great coders are there in Afghanistan or in poor African nations? (Aside of maybe capability for internet propaganda and usage of social networks). We see that most of the cyber attacks originate from developed and developing societies (I read that USA/Russia/China/India/Iran are mentioned in many media-covered attacks). Maybe special risk originates from autocratic regimes in developing countries (that have enough financial means to build/train equipment/people for cyber extremism). So, even organized societies/states, with good rule of law and enough legislation, can pose risk for cyberterrorism (especially politically or economically motivated).
