Global terrorism refers to violent acts committed by individuals or groups with the intent to instill fear and achieve political, ideological, or religious goals. These acts can occur across national borders and often target civilians, infrastructure, or government entities. The motivations behind global terrorism can vary widely, including extremism, nationalism, or opposition to perceived injustices. The rise of global terrorism has led to increased international cooperation among countries to combat these threats. Organizations like the United Nations and Interpol work together to share intelligence and develop strategies to prevent attacks. Efforts also focus on addressing the root causes of terrorism, such as poverty and political instability.
