WHAT IS TERRORISM

Terror tactics
Terrorism can be defined as 'violent acts carried out by organised groups and aimed at causing widespread terror'. Terrorism is not a movement or a political programme. It is a tactic adopted by different groups and for different reasons.

Terrorists act from many different motives: political, nationalist or religious. They also have many different targets. Terrorists may attack the public, assassinate prominent individuals or damage property. Their goal may be to bring down a government, to force policy changes or merely to gain publicity for their cause.
