ABSTRACT

Terrorist activities are usually well planned, and, once committed, the organization will regroup and initiate a strategy for its next move. Just as the definition of terrorism has changed over the decades, the causes of some groups have changed with time. This affords them the opportunity to garner support from different sectors and reinvent themselves in an effort to sustain life, enlist new members, and gain financial means. Defining terrorism is extremely difficult because it changes with time and historical context.
