Terrorismiä

Terrorismiä, or terrorism, refers to the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. It is a tactic employed by various groups to create fear and coerce governments or populations into accepting their demands. Acts of terrorism can range from bombings and hijackings to assassinations and hostage-taking. The perpetrators often seek to draw attention to their cause, disrupt society, and sow widespread panic.

The definition of terrorism is complex and can be subject to differing interpretations. While many agree on the core elements of violence and political motivation, the labeling of an act or group as "terrorist" can be contentious, often depending on the perspective of the observer. International efforts are underway to combat terrorism through legal frameworks, intelligence sharing, and law enforcement cooperation. These efforts aim to prevent attacks, prosecute perpetrators, and address the underlying conditions that may contribute to radicalization. The global impact of terrorism extends beyond immediate casualties, affecting economies, international relations, and civil liberties.
