					  <description><![CDATA[Al Qaeda in its present form did not yet exist. What did exist was a growing number of militant Arab groups angered by the forced displacement of the Palestinians, the violence against Muslims, and the growing interference in the Middle East by Western governments. <BR>
  In 1979, another incursion into a Muslim country set the seventeenth son of a devout Wahhabist Saudi construction magnate-a-self-made billionaire said to have railed often against the Jews and their Western allies-into the mountains of war-torn Afghanistan to join the fight against the Soviets.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Bruce Hoffman, in his book Inside Terrorism, devoted an entire chapter just to the definition of the word TERRORISM. In an attempt to formulate a workable definition he consulted everything. Part of the difficulty in defining the word, Hoffman pointed out is its inconsistent application, and opposing views.<BR>

William Boykin, who led the hunt for Osama bin Laden said it was the fight against Satan, This sort of hubris hardly different from Osama bin Laden claiming a holy mission to rid the world of infidels.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[The events after the Cold War have focused attention on the enormous problems for the Organization for the Security and Cooperation (OSCE) in Europe. The Bosnia and Kosovo conflicts tested in the OSCE as a regional security organization. The ethnic conflicts in Bosnia and Kosovo posed a security for the OSCE governance. The proliferation of nuclear weapons, biological and chemical weapons in the hands of antagonistic groups seeking self-determination and terrorists groups could be dangerous for the OSCE goal of political stability in the region.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Commentators often speak of hate of the U.S. as though it were a passing fad, a media creation engendered by the deliberate sensationalism of a few.  The truth is that often our actions seem to connect the invisible dots of seemingly disparate points into a line drawn in the figurative sand which we then dare others to cross.  <BR>

The laws we pass and policies we follow have ramification beyond our own borders, and it is important to understand that adopting an us vs.]]></description>

					  <link>http://www.BigArticles.com/articles/236821/1/Combating-And-Preventing-Terrorism/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[There is a new development of terrorism that once had its roots in ethnic or seperatist movements, selective targets, and confined small geographic areas with little knowledge of technological use. In recent years terrorism is used as an instrument of foreign policy. Since terrorism is a low intensity warfare and is not easy to fight, terrorist groups are nascent and learn from each other and situations which makes them a chronic problem to the international community.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[A history of terrorism requires a very specific definition to avoid a never-ending summary of every violent act ever recorded. The brief, objective definition proposed by Dr. Boaz Ganor, an Israeli political scientist and deputy dean of the Lauder School of Government and Diplomacy at the Interdiciplinary Center Herzliya, works well for this purpose:terrorism is the intentional use of, or threat to use violence against civilians or against civilian targets, in order to attain politician aims.]]></description>
