"Elements" is one of those obfuscating words, like saying "adverse outcome" when you mean "the patient got much sicker." It doesn't have to mean terrorists - just certain people or groups of people. It can even be single. "When you are dealing with the criminal element, you sometimes have to lower yourself to their level."
"Ends" here means "goals," not necessarily financial ones.
