The word "terrorism" was first used in reference to the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution. A1988 study by the United States Army found that more than one hundred definitions of the word exist and had been used. Terrorism, in the modern sense, is violence against civilians to achieve political or ideological objectives by creating fear. Most common definitions of (errorism include only those acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for an ideological goal (as opposed to a lone at tack), and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants. Some defini tions also include acts of unlawful violence and war. The aspect of terrorism has undergone a metamorphosis since the 1960's. At that time the terrorist organizations were more Euro centric and the war was more ideo- logical. The crusade was between capitalism and socialism. It was sponsored by either of the two blocs and was purely political. However, today the situation varies as the target has shifted to Asia and the fight though still ideological is based on the concept of mid-east centric 'jehad', which is fast becoming international," said Mr. D. R. Kaarthikeyan. The objective of terrorists has always been the spread of terror but with changing times, the militants tend to focus on all including the civil society rather than just the military. Earlier, the terrorists were using techniques like warning, bombing and assas¬ sination to create fear amongst the people but with the onset of religious notions and stereotypes, the terrorists have succumbed to being suicide bombers and using more complex methods of creating the fear syndrome which eventually gets enshrined in every individual's mindset. The terrorists today, have access to nuclear and biological weapons which can cause mass destruction. Terrorism is soon becoming a continuation of a religious policy and because of readily available funds, its tentacles are spreading fast. As a phenomenon, it is very close to being a Third World War.
