THE TERMS “TERRORIST” AND “terrorism” originated during the French Revolution in the late 18th century but became popular due to the conflicts in Northern Ireland, the Basque Country and Palestine. Counter terrorism can be defined to prevent and eradicate terrorism. In the current international scenario every country is vulnerable to terrorism. Closer home in South Asia, several countries have been facing terrorism, especially India who has got affected by this plague from Pakistan on a daily basis. In fact Pakistan has made it a state policy to achieve their objectives. Terrorism is an evolving phenomenon, with new terrorist organisations continuously sprouting and changing their modus operandi. It is an illegal way of waging a war. UN has listed Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, Cuba, Libya, South Yemen and Pakistan as countries which are the source of terrorism.
