Abstract
Terrorism is one of the biggest threats around the world. Academics and people associated with politics as well as the media are anticipating the next movements of organisations such as Al-Qaida, Hamas and ISIS. It is important to remember that the events of 11 September 2001 revived all sorts of conversations about terrorism and its effects not only in the USA, but all over the world. The reason for such discussions was the attack on the WTC. This incident showed and made everyone realise that terrorism is not a local but a global threat. Suicide bombing is somehow no longer as big a problem as it was a few years ago, and the terrorists themselves have moved with the times and started to operate by manipulating the internet and stock markets in order to crash the economy from within. Terrorism has shown that it has links with and influences politics. Terrorist organisations have no correlation whatsoever with existing international laws and regulations within a country. It can be said that terrorist activities manifest themselves through certain arrangements within a given terrorist organisation and these are most important for its members to achieve their goals.
