...This final chapter aims to answer the hypotheses stated in Chapter One concerning the cases. Those hypotheses are: women’s involvement in terrorism is more likely to be driven by emotional factors; women’s roles are more likely to be insignificant inside terrorist organizations and women are more likely to be successful. The thesis seeks to provide a comprehensive framework of terrorism and women’s involvement in terrorism.

...Terrorism: the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion. (Merriam Webster, 2013) Terrorism has been around since the beginning of time, but wasn’t defined until the 1930’s. Ethnic separatist violence in the 1930s provoked the League of Nations, formed after World War I to encourage world stability and peace, to define terrorism for the first time, as: All criminal acts directed against a State and intended or calculated to create a state of terror in the minds of particular persons or a group of persons or the general public. (Zalman) Although this was never enacted it was the first recorder definition of terroeism. Since then, many definitions have surfaced and vary in terms. Terrorism does not discriminate. It comes in all shapes forms and can happen anywhere, anytime to anyone. Terrorism is a worldwide problem and continues to get worse. Individuals, small groups and even whole countries can be affected. There are many different reasons terrorism begins. It can be as simple as a name or as complicated as religion. Different forms of terrorism occur at all times. Terrorism may be happening in your neighborhood without you even realizing it. Individuals or groups decide that they do not like something or someone and terrorize them. The terrorism may include scare tactics such as: burning a cross nearby, killing, bombing, kidnapping and many other tactics. The ultimate goal is to have things their way without anyone opposing them. Works Cited ...

...Terrorism of 21st Century Sabeena Singh DeVry University April 20, 2014 "Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes or in their offices: secretaries, businessmen and women, military and federal workers, moms and dads, friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, and -- huge structures collapsing have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and a quiet, unyielding anger. These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong." George W. Bush Addressing the Nation on September 11, 2001. (Intellectual Takeout , 2014) During the 1990s, the end of the cold war led to an entirely new global security environment, marked by a focus on internal rather than inter-state wars. In the early 21st century, new global threats emerged. The attacks of 11 September 2001 on the United States clearly demonstrated the challenge of international terrorism, while subsequent events heightened concern about the proliferation of nuclear weapons and the dangers from other non-conventional weapons. The organizations of the UN system mobilized immediately in their respective spheres to step up action...

...Cyber Terrorism Technological innovations bring with them various blessing as well as curses. Due to increased dependency on technology, the negative and exploitative use of technology results in chaos in the daily lives of millions of technologically driven people worldwide. This increased dependency has resulted in the creation of cyber terrorism, whose main purpose is to use technology and cyberspace to launch wide scale and damaging results for the internet users. These opportunities for cyber terrorism are created due to the fact that the reliance on technology and information has increased manifold and this technology and information can be easily manipulated and tampered to hurt and damage the companies’ and nations’ reputations etc. That why, cyber terrorism is considered to be a national offense because it is generally used to disrupt or influence the government and government owned companies regarding their political, social and policy making motives. Nature of Cyber Terrorism: Cyber terrorism, like conventional terrorism, is used to disrupt and induce fear in the daily lives of people and uses threats, serious assaults to induce fear. Cyber terrorism also works it the similar way, but uses internet and computers as its backbone.

...Female Suicide Terrorism Abstract This article examines the phenomenon of female suicide terrorism. Women involvement in terrorism and political violent acts is not a recent phenomenon but the ever growing number of women involved and the universal belief of the nonviolent character of women, constitute sufficient reasons to analyze this gender shifting in terrorism. Introduction Women involvement in terrorism and political violent acts is not a recent phenomenon but the ever growing number of women involved and the universal belief of the nonviolent character of women, constitute sufficient reasons to analyze this gender shifting in terrorism. The purpose of this analysis is to attempt an explanatory view of the fundamental of female suicide terrorism in Islam. This study will focus on the study of Palestinian female suicide terrorism as the Palestinian example seems to constitute an appropriate pars pro toto. Indeed, as stated by Corocan-Nantes in her article “Unnatural beings: Gender and terrorism,” “in most of the major works on the study of terrorism there is no mention of gender despite the fact that in the last decade there has been a noticeable increase in the study of 'female terrorism.'” The common belief being to associate terrorist acts to men.

...TERRORISM Terrorism is just a word in English, but it is a hazard for mankind. India faces the problems of poverty, population, hunger and literacy. But spread of terrorism is the most frightening of all. Be it in the small countries like Ireland and Israel, or in the big ones life Russia and USA, terrorism has become the main challenge to most of the governments today. Terrorism has been described as ‘the use of international violence by group or individuals to achieve political goals’, by the experts in U.S.A. In simple words, it is the spread of terror. It has to be remembered that if destruction of people is taken by the behalf of an established government against another country, then it is known as war, not terrorism.Terrorism is more accurately defined as act(s) of violence by an organization directed towards civilians, rather than against the military done to achieve an objective.It consists of a series of act planned to spread pressure, panic and destruction in a population. Terrorists aim at achieving political power by overthrowing and destroying the democratic and lawful governments. They try to create disturbance and unstable conditions on a vast scale to achieve their own political ends. They are trained, inspired and financed by very powerful national and international vested interests. They receive deadly weapons and ammunition from these powers and create havoc. This ugly and dangerous socio-political phenomenon called terrorism knows no limits of land, time...

Terrorism takes place all over the world and not just in one specific place. Terrorist’s will sometimes operate in a capacity of one individual but mostly they are a part of not just one but many organizations. Any acts of terrorism will not only kill individuals, it will also bring down economies, as well as destroying livelihoods of all individuals affected. There are two different types of terrorist’s organizations; you have your domestic organization for example the “Aryan Nations (AN) and your international organization for example “al-Qaeda”. The domestic terrorist organization known as the “Aryan Nations” is a neo-Nazi white nationalist group which became founded around the 1970’s. This group has been deemed the United States first truly nationwide terrorist network (START, 2010).

...Terrorism Abraham Andrade November 22, 2012 His/145 The American experience since 1945 Terrorism Terrorism is a systematic method to cause terror. Terrorism is most defined as violent acts as a means of coercion. Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts that are intended to create fear and are perpetrated for a religious, political or, ideological goal; to deliberately target or disregard the safety of civilians. In the years following the September 11, 2001, attacks in America, terrorist incidents on the United States soil has totaled 33; more than 190 incidents in other countries like the United Kingdom. Countries like Israel report numbers in the thousands (National Counterterrorism Center, 2011). This paper will discuss the reasons as to why terrorism activity is higher in certain areas of the world. The paper will also discuss the relationship between different attacks, and if laws and procedures could prevent future attacks. The way terrorism affects the lives of America, and finally, I will discuss how terrorism has changed and influenced The Unites States’ priorities. Terrorism has existed as long as mankind. Today terrorism is systematic; it has evolved with the growth of resources and technology. These changes and the development in the world have added efficiency to the success of terrorists; however, the national security deficiencies can be credited for the majority of these attacks. Different countries have different procedures...

...Do you agree that we live in a dangerous world? Can you remember 9-11? Most people know about this infamous act of terrorism. Unfortunately, it was not the last one. Some people say that the world is becoming a better place in which to live, but we are exposed to an increasing number of dangerous situations. Be it in the physical world, or the virtual world, the number of threats has been on the rise, many times without us even aware of them. Firstly, we are living in an era of wars. Although major wars such as World War II are long gone, there still exist many acts of violence and threats of mass destruction. These are due to advent of terrorism and relentless experimentation on nuclear weapons. These have resulted in increased tensions among major superpowers worldwide, notably North Korea against US and its allies. On a smaller scale, due to the issue to overlapping boundaries between neighboring countries, many people often get killed in border clashes. For example, Thailand and Cambodia had many border clashes in the last decade, leading to numerous deaths of soldiers and civilians alike. Besides, we often hear of suicide bombers in Iraq, in a bid to topple the current democratic government in place. Therefore, it is difficult to say that today’s world is a safer one. Moreover, we face, see and hear about a lot more crime today than we did in the past. If you watch the news, you will hear about a lot of crimes such as random killings or intentional kidnappings in exchange...

...The History of Terrorism This comprehensive description for the history of terrorism analysis provides insight into the French and Russian revolutions expanding the terrorism knowledge to the Irish revolutionaries for political changes. The change of faces in terrorism activities shows as the left wing extremists slowly faded away with the collapse of the communism. The modern right wing extremist have an old history of using religious aspects as an excuse for killing innocent people to gain the political advantages. The future of terrorism takes a newer turn with the introduction for the weapons of mass destruction causing deaths of millions of innocents for the terrorist's statement, and mission. The development of the Department of Homeland Security and United States Patriot Act helped the Intelligence community, government agencies, and law enforcement departments provide viable information toward modern terrorism tactics. The fight for everlasting freedom becomes a combination of information resources working together toward the same objectives.

The top three organized crime and terrorist operations begin with counterfeiting cigarettes, money laundering, and gun smuggling undermines every country’s economic system.

Boko Haram, the militant group that has tortured Nigeria and its neighbors for years, was responsible for 6,664 deaths last year, more than any other terrorist group in the world, including the Islamic State, which killed 6,073 people in 2014, according to a report released Wednesday tracking terrorist attacks globally. The death toll in Nigeria mounted on Wednesday, with a bombing in Kano State in northern Nigeria, not even a full day after Boko Haram was suspected in an explosion that killed and injured dozens in another nearby region. In Kano, the authorities said that two female suicide bombers detonated vests at a cellphone market at about 4 p.m., killing at least 12 people and wounding dozens. Witnesses and Red Cross officials said that as many as 50 or 60 people died, though the number could not be independently confirmed. Officials accused Boko Haram in the attacks. In a statement Wednesday, President Muhammadu Buhari called for Nigerians to stay vigilant, saying that even his recently intensified military operation against Boko Haram could not prevent every attack. “President Buhari reassures...
