CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF
TERRORISM
IN
PAKISTAN
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.
How it all started?
On September 11th 2001,
2 planes crashed into the
World Trade Centre and
changed the world
The Al Qaeda a terrorist
organization of Afghanistan,
headed by Osama Bin
Laden claimed
responsibility.
Pakistani Victims : War on Terror
More than 24,000 people
both civilians and troops were
killed in terrorist attacks during
the period between 2001 and
2008.
The last five years have proved
costlier, in human terms.
Another 25,000-plus people
died during military offensives
against Taliban insurgents in the
restive tribal regions since 2008.
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.
