“CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF
TERRORISM
IN
PAKISTAN”

4. WHATISTERRORISM?
The word terrorism is derived from a
Latin word “terror” which means ‘great
fear, dread or to frighten’.
TERRORISM has no global definition yet it can be
termed as:
“Systematic use of violence to Intimidate governments or
societies, in such a way as to achieve a certain goal.”

6. How it all started?
•• On September 11th 2001, 2
planes crashed into the World
Trade Centre and changed the
world…

organization of Afghanistan,
headed by Osama Bin Laden

More than 24,000 people – both
civilians and troops – were killed in

costlier, in human terms.
Another 25,000-plus people died
during military offensives against
Taliban insurgents in the restive
tribal regions since 2008.

8. CAUSES OF TERRORISM
All terrorist Acts are motivated by two things:
1. Social and political injustice
2. The belief that violence or its threat will be effective,
and usher in change.
This explanation of the causes of terrorism may be
difficult to swallow. It sounds too simple, or too
theoretical. However, if we look at any group that is
widely understood as a terrorist group, we will find these
two elements are basic to their story.
