Terrorism (1)

Terrorism , is violent or destructive acts (as bombing) committed by groups in order to intimidate a population or government into granting their demands
Mass mediaMedia exposure may be a primary goal of those carrying out terrorism, to expose issues that would otherwise be ignored by the media. Some consider this to be manipulation and exploitation of the media.[62] Others consider terrorism itself to be a symptom of a highly controlled mass media, which does not otherwise give voice to alternative viewpoints, a view expressed by Paul Watson who has stated that controlled media is responsible for terrorism, because "you cannot get your information across any other way". Paul Watson's organization Sea Shepherd has itself been branded "eco-terrorist", although it claims to have not caused any casualties
The September 11 attacks (often referred to as nine -eleven, written 9/11) were a series of coordinated suicide attacks by al- Qaeda upon the United States on September 11, 2001. The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing everyone on board and many others working in the buildings. Both buildings collapsed within two hours , destroying at least two nearby buildings and damaging others. The hijackers crashed a third airliner into the Pentagon . The fourth plane crashed into a field near Shanksville in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania, after some of its passengers and flight crew attempted to retake control of the plane, which the hijackers had redirected toward Washington, D.C. There are no survivors from any of the flights.Excluding the 19 hijackers, 2,974 people died in the attacks.
What is agroterrorism and what can I do to protect myself and my family?
Terrorist attacks aimed at reducing the food supply by destroying crops using natural pests such as the potato beetle, animal diseases such as hoof and mouth disease and anthrax, molds and other plant diseases, or chemicals that defoliate vegetation, such as Agent Orange, used in Vietnam.Agroterrorism involves the act of any person knowingly or maliciously using biological or other agents as weapons against the agricultural industry and the food supply— plants and especially animals. Outbreaks caused by the deliberate spread of animal diseases by terrorists are likely to have much higher costs than natural occurrences or epidemics.
Agricultural education and extension services inform farmers and livestock operators of the
threats and work with farmers, veterinarians, and crop consultants to prevent and control plant
and animal diseases
Sum up :
Terrorists often use violence and threats to create fear
among the public, to try to convince people that their government is powerless to prevent acts
of terrorism, and to get immediate publicity for their causes
