Homegrown Terrorism

Homegrown terrorism refers to acts of violence or terrorism carried out by individuals or groups against their own country, motivated by extremist ideologies, political beliefs, or social grievances. These individuals are typically citizens or residents of that country and are often inspired by extremist ideologies, rather than being foreign operatives. Homegrown terrorists may use tactics such as bombings, shootings, or cyber attacks, targeting civilians or government institutions. Understanding homegrown terrorism is essential for promoting security and addressing the underlying social issues that can lead to such violent actions.
