Terrorism is the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion . At present, there is no internationally agreed definition of terrorism. Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for an ideological goal (as opposed to a lone attack), and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants.

Some definitions also include acts of unlawful violence and war. The history of terrorist organizations suggests that they do not select terrorism for its political effectiveness. Individual terrorists tend to be motivated more by a desire for social solidarity with other members of their organization than by political platforms or strategic objectives, which are often murky and undefined.

The word "terrorism" is politically and emotionally charged, and this greatly compounds the difficulty of providing a precise definition. A 1988 study by the United States Army found that over 100 definitions of the word “terrorism” have been used.The concept of terrorism is itself controversial because it is often used by states to delegitimize political or foreign opponents, and potentially legitimize the state's own use of terror against them. A less politically and emotionally charged, and better defined, term (used not only for terrorists, and not including all those who have been described as terrorists) is violent non-state actor.

Terrorism has been practiced by a broad array of political organizations for furthering their objectives. It has been practiced by both right-wing and left-wing political parties, nationalistic groups, religious groups, revolutionaries, and ruling governments] One form is the use of violence against noncombatants for the purpose of gaining publicity for a group, cause, or individual the perpetrators of acts of terrorism can be individuals, groups, or states. According to some definitions, clandestine or semi-clandestine state actors may also carry out terrorist acts outside the framework of a state of war.

However, the most common image of terrorism is that it is carried out by small and secretive cells, highly motivated to serve a particular cause and many of the most deadly operations in recent times, such as the September 11 attacks, the London underground bombing, and the 2002 Bali bombing were planned and carried out by a close clique, composed of close friends, family members and other strong social networks.

These groups benefited from the free flow of information and efficient telecommunications to succeed where others had failed. Over the years, many people have attempted to come up with a terrorist profile to attempt to explain these individuals' actions through their psychology and social circumstances. Others, like Roderick Hindery, have sought to discern profiles in the propaganda tactics used by terrorists.

Some security organizations designate these groups as violent non-state actors. It has been found that a "terrorist" will look, dress, and behave like a normal person, until he or she executes the assigned mission. Some claim that terrorist profiling based on personality, physical, or sociological traits would not appear to be particularly useful.

The physical and behavioral description of the terrorist could describe almost any normal person. However, the majority of terrorist attacks are carried out by military age men, aged 16-40.

Pakistan has been accused by Bangladesh, India, Afghanistan, and other nations (including the United States, and the United Kingdom of its involvement in the terrorism in Kashmir, India and Afghanistan. Since the 1979 Iranian Revolution when the American-backed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was overthrown and replaced by an Islamic Republic led by Ayatollah Khomeini, the government of Iran has been accused by United States, Israel and some European countries, of funding, providing equipment, weapons, training and giving sanctuary to terrorists.

The United States State Department lists Iran as the “most active state sponsor of terrorism.” Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice elaborated stating, “Iran has been the country that has been in many ways a kind of central banker for terrorism in important regions like Lebanon through Hezbollah in the Middle East, in the Palestinian Territories, and we have deep concerns about what Iran is doing in the south of Iraq.” U.S. and British officials have also accused Iran of arming the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan.

Terrorism in Russia has a long history starting from the times of Russian Empire. Terrorism, in the modern sense, means violence against civilians to achieve political or ideological objectives by creating fear. The United States government has been accused of having directly committed acts of state terrorism , as well as funding, training, and harboring individuals and groups who engage in terrorism. Terrorism tactics, such as hostage-taking, were widely used by the Soviet secret agencies, most notably during the Red Terror and Great Terror campaigns, against population of their own country, according to Karl Kautsky and other historians of Bolshevism.

Mission: Terrorism is not easy to stop or to fight against. Terrorism is not an open war, but a sneaky attack without warning. It is important that all states become a part of the fight, because these attacks take place in amy place at any time and are aimed at the civilian population in order to keep them too afraid to take effective counter-measures. We need to look at where the material can come from, how to control who has access to it, and how to get all countries involved no matter their economic status.
