Terrorism is not a new phenomenon.. The first recorded terrorist attack was the one in USA.. In 1865–1877: 3,000 Freedmen and their Republican Party allies were killed by the Ku Klux Klan and well-organized campaigns of violence by other local whites in a campaign of terrorist violence that weakened the re-constructionist governments in the American South and helped re-establish legitimized segregation. But over years it has undergone changes.. Like any other field.. It has improved in all means.. It has become more lethal, more widespread and more difficult to control. Today, it stand as the most serious challenge before the civil society.
Terrorism has its presence everywhere from Indonesia, Malaysia to Sudan. Somalia, Egypt and Nigeria and Peru. Chile, America to Ireland. Almost everywhere in Central Asia.
Terrorist are the greatest enemies of society because they undermine its stability by creating chaotic conditions leading to mass killing, damage and destruction. Generally, public places like airports, railway stations are their targets, but sometimes they shift their focus to some soft targets like schools, hospitals, trains and buses where security is lax and not vigilant.
Every country has defines terrorism in its own way as per its own suitability. There is no universally accepted definition of terrorism. In fact, terrorism is an unlawful use of violence or threat of violence aiming to inculcate fear among the masses. It is a philosophy of violence which terrorists use to destabilize the economy of a country.
Today they rule the world as Al-Qaeda, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Boko Haram or in any other hundreds of names left. I feel the nations themselves use to support one or more of these groups in their budding state and finally they reach a situation when that they are out of control. Now it is high time that we, world nations, work together to eliminate terrorism and wipe out them from the earth.
Let us hope for the best..
