TERRORISM

Terrorism is often violent or other harmful acts committed (or threatened) against civilians with the intent of creating fear. Most definitions of terrorism include only violent acts that are intended to further an ideological goal and that deliberately target nonmilitary people.

Terrorist threats come in many forms, including biological, chemical, explosives, nuclear, and radioactive.
