Terrorism

I found an article on the Internet that tells what is occurring in U.K. and the terrorist attacks. In the Internet there are many articles. All over the world a seriously problem is developing very quickly, terrorism, there is terrorism all around the world, including in the safer countries, for example, in U.K, the last few weeks there were various attacks of card bomb, especially in Birmingham, England. Terrorism is a word used to describe violence and/or other painful acts made or threatened against civilians by terrorist groups or persons with political or social goals. Terrorist attacks are often made for maximize fear and publicity among the entire world.

There are twelve types of terrorism in the world.Agro-terrorism is the use of plants or animals to disperse a disease through a certain region. Anarchist is the normal use of small bombs in trains or buildings. Bioterrorism is the intentional release or dissemination of biological agents. Cyber-terrorism is attacks with the use and/or help of the Internet and computers. Eco-terrorism consists of threats and/or acts of violence to people or properties. Narcoterrorism is terrorist-type attacks against a nations anti-narcotics police or forces. Nationalist is when a group of people rebel against the government or any company. Nuclear terrorism can be two types of attacks, with nuclear or radiological weapons or and attack to a nuclear plant. Political is made to influence on peoples thoughts and statements. Racist is violence influences by ethnic or cultural issues. Religious is violence influenced by religious beliefs issues. State refers to violence against civilians by the government or nation. State-sponsored is a political term used to refer to bounties, equipment and intelligence material given across boundaries to terrorist organizations and the families of deceased militants for the purpose of conducting or rewarding attacks on civilians.

The five main tactics made by the terrorist are hijacking of public vehicles ( air crafts), or important people for money. Assassination is a very common method seen almost every day in the world, normally of important or/and famous people. Car bombing is now very seen in the countries in Southwest Asia, for example Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Lebanon. Suicide attack is not so common, but its used when there is a person that wants to kill someone and he is disposed to give his life for his decision or for religion. Kidnapping is very seen in large cities with a large number of crime rate.

The mayor terrorist attack in the 21Th century occurred in 11Th of September of 2001. Two airplanes crashes into the World Trade Center in New York,City, United States of America. There were 2,973 deaths in total: 246 on the four planes, no one aboard any of the hijacked airplane survived the crash, 2,602 people died in New York at the towers and on the ground surrounding them, and 125 people at the Pentagon.

The day of September 11 of 2001, the school had an early dismissal, when we got out of school, I went to my grandmothers house and me and my family saw the video on the TV. The two towers were totally collapsed, the land surrounding the towers was a complete disaster.
