Innumerable studies, articles and reports have been produced over the years on the subject Terrorism and how best to deal with the specter of International Terrorism. It has been on the agenda of National Governments and International Summits and U.N. resolutions both before and after the events of September 11, 2001. However, it is the 9/11 event which has posed a greatest threat to the security and safety of the people all over the world. It has forced the international community to take a serious note of it and plan necessary challenges to the authority of the state in various ways. International terrorism does not recognize any national boundary, nor is it endemic to any particular culture. Any state, any time, is vulnerable to it.
Terrorism is not new. In different periods, in different states, terrorism has taken place with varying consequences. Today’s terrorism is a multifaceted phenomenon consisting of diverse array of actor, motivations and tactics that evolves over a period of time. Such a phenomenon requires equal ingenuity and flexibility on the art of those who study it or-as intelligence analysis, operators and policy makers deal directly with it. What is different today has been an evolution in who, why and how of terrorism.
