Introduction

9/11 is the expression that has been dedicated to the 2001 terrorist attacks by Al-Qaeda that the United States suffered from on September 11. It is true that 9/11 became a turning point for the George W. Bush administration.

Homeland security

Terrorism is becoming more complicated than before with the use of mass destruction weapons. Ten years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, policy makers continue to define the homeland security. Prior to 11.09, the United States addressed crises through the separate, law enforcement, prisms of national defence and emergency management. This demands a new strategy for the security enforcers in order to prevent from the threats. Preemption is a measure that ensures terrorists do not plan and attack different places as they chose. Defensive deterrence is no longer an option to prevent attacks, but offensive preemption is needed to counter the ...

Even more important, the attacks revealed the need for combined efforts when it came to the prevention and response to ...

Arunabha Banerjee

Senior Associate, Corporate & Compliance Solutions, Thomson Reuters Abstract The enactment of the USA-Patriot Act in the wake of the 9/11 incident has caused much furor. However, we cannot afford to be short sighted in our analysis by focusing excessively on the threats posed to the individual liberties and notions of privacy.

If the administration remains careful regarding certain aspects of the implementation process, this piece of legislation can become an effective tool in combating ...

Death squads are special armed forces that are involved in the killings of people without legal notice. These squads are also responsible for the forced disappearance of individuals. These death squads often operate with the objective of political repression, genocide, or revolutionary terror. The individuals who are involved in killing people or forcefully kidnapping them often hide their true identities. It is essential for the killers to camouflage or hide their true identity in order to avoid accountability. It is not uncommon or unheard of for these informal groups to be associated with military dictators or police forces. However, ...

Introduction

Terrorist attacks and their live coverage impact the psychology of people in a serious manner. It is extremely horrific to watch terrorist attacks on television but reading them in newspapers also makes parallel effects on the psyche of people. A lot has been discussed on this issue, and there is a difference of opinion among different sections of the society. Some people say that media is just doing its job while others say that portrayal of terrorist attacks should be regulated, and media should avoid portraying ghastly things. It has been observed in a number of cases that portrayal of such ghastly ...

International Terrorism

The issue of terrorism is both complex and highly emotional. It is convoluted as the issue amalgams a number of various factors of human experience, inclusive of topics such as military planning, psychology, philosophy and history, among others. On the other side, extremism is also high charged emotionally as the instances of terrorism give rise to enormous feelings, combined with the fact that seeing terrorists justify their actions as right have strong emotions with regard to the use of violence against these terrorists (United States Institute of Peace, n.d., p. 3). Simply stated, terrorism can be defined as “propaganda by ...

The word terrorism does not have a universally accepted definition. The term has however been defined by a number of international instruments over time to denote the use of force, violence and intimidation to achieve political goals.

What is Terrorism?

The word “terrorism” is often heard on the television news report, read in newspapers, and even present in some of the most popular movies that are shown in the theaters, often with large explosions and a known “bad guy.” However, is this an accurate representation of the definition of terrorism? According to Munson (2008), the term “terrorism” has been around since the French Revolution, however, when the term was used during the late 1700s, it had a different meaning than it does currently. Back then, the term referred to “defending new notions of justice and democracy against an old order perceived ...

The Impact of CyberTerrorism on the U.S Economy

In the US today, it is disturbing to think how computers are targeted to be used as weapons by politically motivated international and national groups. This is done with an intention to cause violence or instill fear to the government and its people. It has involved activities such as shutting down of critical infrastructures nationally and internationally. This may include the government operations, transportation, and communication among others. Consequently, the government and the civilian populations are coerced or intimidated. This has often led to making adjustments on some government policies. Cyberterrorism is a subject situated in an equally new research ...

Introduction

The 9/11 Attack has been regarded as one of the major events in the history of America. This attack killed and maimed more people inside United States boundaries in a day than any other event since the historic Pearl Harbor attack. Notably, those who died in the horrific carnage in Pennsylvania, Washington and Manhattan on 11th Sept were the most direct victims of the terror attack. Many more people were killed in the subsequent “war on terror”. Arguably, several essential facts regarding 9/11 attacks were obvious; i.e. the attack was an act of mass murder where more than three thousand ...

Introduction

The name Osama bin Laden is more than just a buzzword when it comes to topics revolving around terrorism. Speaking of international terrorism, the terrorist groups that conduct the most heinous acts of terror are affiliated with Islamic extremists. However, the belief that all acts of terrorism are planned and executed by Islamic radicals is more than a distortion of reality. There is more to terrorism than just Islamic motivations. Research shows that the root causes of modern terrorism revolve around economic depressions, power struggles, religious and social strife, ethnic conflicts, a spillover of domestic upheavals and low measures of democracy (Bjø ...

A brief review of its use and effectiveness

The word ‘war’ for any nation signifies the danger or uncertain situation imposed upon it by another nation or army. Acknowledging that the nation is in war, calls upon its citizens to do all they can individually and collectively to help the country fight the war. For the citizens, war and war threat situations have been seen to induce a sense of patriotism and unity, in the face of the common enemy. This is exactly what the politicians and law enforcement people seek to leverage by raising war rhetoric in crime prevention. War rhetoric is increasingly resorted to as a means ...

The events of 9/11 dramatically changed foreign policy and the treatment of national security in America. Given the organized and terror-based nature of the attacks, it was decided that a unique facility had to be created, isolated from the rest of the world, that would detain people of interest and enemy combatants. That place became the facility at Guantanamo Bay, where the United States maintains territorial control and has complete jurisdiction, despite the territory not being part of the United States. Since its creation and occupation by enemy combatants, questions have been raised as to the ethical treatment of prisoners ...

Foremost, it should be appreciated that the internet is accessible to all and sundry. From the priests in the Vatican to the soldiers in the DRC Congo, from the ...

The United States has experienced the wrath of terrorism in several instances. Some of the attacks appear in the American lands or soils while others target barracks or embassies containing soldiers from US (McCann, 2006). When the systematic studies behind terrorism started in 1970’s, some researchers believed that terrorism, in the US, was more or less a cartel of left-wing groups, such as, German Red Army Italian Red Brigade, and Latin American groups. What remained clear to most philosophers and theologians, however, was that terrorism was an act of violation against human justice and the law of God (Combs ...

Should the attacks on 9/11 have been prevented?

The attack on 9/11 came as a shock but was not a surprise (National Commission, 2004). Based on this fact, we can conclude that with proper preparation, the attack would have been prevented. Before the attack on the world trade center on September 11th, there has been multiple attacks targeting the center. There were also increased attacks throughout America by Islamist extremists. Following the increased threat and multiple efforts to kill Americans in mass killings, the nation should have been prepared for a large scale attack. This is following a direct threat by Bin Laden himself to bring havoc on ...

The Federal Bureau of Investigation indicates that there is no universally accepted definition of terrorism. The U.S federal code, however, defines terrorism as ‘the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objective’. The U. S is considered unique among many countries in the world due to its ability in containing multitudes in relative to harmony. A substantial number of terrorism cases in the American history can be said to be motivated by an intense distrust on the ...

Terrorism continues to threaten global security and the American interests. It is noteworthy that the emergence of the internet and consequential globalization has served to complicate the situation even further. In response, the United States of America through multiple departments has developed a number of counterterrorism and prevention methods. These measures can be split into two large subgroups; preemptive action and the reactive action. Under the preemptive action, the measure is taken in advance based on the available intelligence. This, therefore, seeks to forestall a possible attack. Under the reactive action, the measure is taken after the attack has occurred. Usually, ...

Terrorism is becoming more sophisticated than before with the use of mass destruction weapons. This demands a new strategy for the security enforcers in order to counter the threats.
