ABSTRACT

There are a lot of major problems in today’s world, out of which terrorism is one of them, which exists all over the world. Terrorism is the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate government, the civilian population, in order to fulfill political or social objectives. It largely targets ethnic or religious groups, governments and political parties, and media enterprises. Terrorism not only kills people, but it also destroys livelihoods, economies, and civilized world order and creates disturbance in society and in life of the people. The results of terrorism are almost always catastrophic. Individuals or groups that commit these crimes are called terrorists.  Most terrorist organizations are radical fundamentalists who commit terror in the name “jihad”. Some examples of terrorist organizations are Taliban, Islamic states, Boko Haram, Al Qaeda, Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba.
