Keywords:
terror, national security, international security, political objectives, threatAbstract
Terror, meaning the creation of fear, has been described as a terrifying and horror-filled situation that emerges through engaging in violent and surprising individual or group behaviors aimed at achieving political and ideological objectives and disseminating one’s own views. The characteristics of terror include the use of force and violent actions to instill fear, conducting actions unlawfully and illegitimately, targeting based on political and ideological purposes, as well as the acquisition and preservation of power. In fact, it is used as a powerful tool to maneuver and attain political and religious objectives. Today, combating the phenomenon of terrorism has turned into a pressing issue for the international system; because the chaotic conditions resulting from its occurrence not only damage human security but also directly assault both national and international security. The important point is that terrorism is a strategic phenomenon utilized to achieve objectives and to exert influence on the national security of states, especially those of the Third World.
