The face of terrorism, then and now
Article Abstract:
Terrorist acts need to be examined within their contexts. The reasons behind each act of terrorism are different and cannot be categorized under general headings. These reasons range from political ambitions to new ideologies that evolve in affluent societies. Even the political goals behind these acts are varied. However, attacks that kill civilians are carried out by sick-minds. Extremist groups such as Hamas will not grow if they remain unsupported by the people. But even with the support of the people, terrorism can never be the means to political ends. It just creates a vicious circle.
