Terrorism

 

            Do you know what happened on September 6, 1972 , on December 21, 1988 or on April 19, 1995 No? Any idea? Well let me give you the bad news, terrorists attacked. In 1972 Palestinian Black September terrorists massacred Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics. In 1988 the flight 103 of Pan Am exploded and in 1995 an explosion at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City killed 168 people and injured hundreds of others.
             As you can see in the last decades the society has been victim of one of worse flagella: the terrorism, that is an expressive fact of violence that can be seen more during all history with his varied forms of expression and cruelty. .
             The FBI defines Terrorism as the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives. The FBI classifies terrorism as either domestic or international, depending on the origin, base, and objectives of the terrorist organization.
            
             • Domestic terrorism involves groups or individuals who are based and operate entirely within the country without foreign direction and whose violent acts are directed at elements of the Government or population.
            
             • International terrorism involves a group or individual, who has some connection to a foreign power or whose activities transcend national boundaries.
             The terrorism is constituted thus as much in the internal scope as in the world-wide one, like in a route opened to all violent act, degrading and intimidatory, and applied without reserve or moral preoccupation. It is not, therefore, an isolated, recent nor disorganized but for that reason not structured practice. The aims looked for by this form of "nonconventional war" can have political, religious, cultural aims level and smooth the taking of the power by totally illicit means.
