What Is Terrorism?
Terrorism is a controversial term with no internationally agreed single definition. Terrorism is commonly referred as the use or threatened use of unlawful force or violence against people or property. It is used to coerce or intimidate governments, societies, companies, etc. to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals. Terrorism is also a form of unconventional warfare and psychological warfare.
The big thing about terrorism is that it involves a criminal act that is intended to influence an audience far beyond the immediate victims.
Tactics used in terrorism include kidnapping, assassination, arson, bombing, hoaxes, hostage-taking, hijacking and skyjacking, seizure, raids or attacks on facilities, sabotage, potential use of special weapons, and environmental destruction. Combating terrorism consists of actions taken to oppose terrorism throughout the entire threat spectrum, including:
Anti-terrorism:
Defensive measures taken to reduce vulnerability to terrorist acts
Counter-terrorism:
Offensive measures taken to prevent, deter, and respond to terrorism
That's it for now... stay safe!
