act of terrorism

An act of terrorism is a deliberate act intended to create fear, harm, or disruption among people or society. Usually carried out by individuals or groups with political, ideological, or religious motives, these acts target civilians or public spaces to influence government policies or social perceptions. Terrorism often involves violence, bombings, or other threats designed to intimidate populations, undermine stability, or advance specific goals. It is universally condemned because it harms innocent people and destabilizes communities, aiming to achieve strategic objectives through fear rather than lawful means.
