Terrorist organizations are groups that use violence and intimidation, often against civilians, to achieve political, ideological, or religious goals. They typically operate outside of conventional military structures and may employ tactics such as bombings, kidnappings, and cyberattacks. These groups often seek to instill fear and disrupt societal norms to draw attention to their causes. Many terrorist organizations are motivated by specific beliefs or grievances, which can vary widely. Some are driven by nationalist aspirations, while others may be influenced by religious ideologies. Governments and international bodies often work together to combat these organizations through intelligence sharing, military action, and diplomatic efforts.
