Terrorism is a synthesis of war and theater, a dramatization of the most prescribed kind of violence, that which is deliberately perpetrated on civilian noncombatant victims, played before an audience in the hope of creating a mood of fear, for political purposes.
Terrorism involves an act of violence, an audience in which a mood of fear is created, targeted civilian noncombatant victims, and political motives or goals.
U.S. Department of Defense defines terrorism as the unlawful use, or threatened use, of force or violence against individuals or property to coerce and intimidate governments societies, often to achieve political, religious, or ideological objectives.
U.S. FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION (F.B.I.), 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
Terrorism is not a strictly modern phenomenon committed by a few individuals or groups. Terror violence did, in many respects, become a method of warfare during the latter part of the twentieth century. In the twenty- first century, terrorism itself has become a target of war on the part of the international community, clearly increasing the level of violence and the number of victims.
