Terrorism became well known after September 11, with the World Trade Center attack, but this problem had been part of the world scenario and human history since decades, the use of terror as weapon and as a way of manipulate the society. You don’t need to be a criminal or the stereotype of the man with the Muslim outfits to be considering a terrorist, dictators and often politic member use terror also, to make ideas in place under a deficient regime.
Nowadays ,terrorism developed into a risky business, a dangerous and very profit work that causes death wherever they need to act, and besides this dangerous business comes: drugs, gunrunning, internet hacking and all kinds of illegal threats that give financial help terrorist groups around the globe. Terrorism is also enforcing by publicity and the more publicity a terrorist group can get, more financial and logistic support can get among the enemies of the terrorist victim.
Terrorism is a conflict method that will survived and evolved as he continuing trying to adapt to the challenges and the new forms of conflicts, no place for early type of wars, with tanks and soldiers, but new kind of conflicts with high technologic methods and source of communication ways used against their enemies. This new use of technology can ensure terrorism a new way, even unexpected and most aggressive way of attacking, with extreme consequences, mainly because of today’s dependency to computers and communications systems.
There´s not a way to combat terrorism because it’s so complex and the acting way is unexpected and done by groups with roots all over the world, it can be done by a group or a specific person with an extreme motivation and rare goal. So, as globalization and technology, terrorism is here to stay for a long time as a way of war, or as a way to act against bigger and more develop opponents. The war of David against Goliath.
