Terrorism and its Combating

Abstract

Terrorism is now a global phenomenon identified with the spread of ideological vigilance and we are today in an "age of terrorism". The advances of science and technology, development of means of transport and communication, easy availability of highly sophisticated material, have made the present day society extremely vulnerable to unsuspected and ruthless attacks of terrorism. Terrorism today is a form of violent strategy, a form of coercion, intentional use of violence or the threat of violence. At the heart of every terrorist action, there is a cause, a political goal, a perceived injustice or denial of liberty that is as concrete to, the activist as any prime minister's notion of justice or freedom. In the light of above the present paper attempts to discuss the problem of terrorism and tries to suggest majors to reduce terrorism.
