    Terrorism is defined as violent acts intended to create fear and are often done for political, religious, or ideological goals by targeting civilians. There is no universal definition of terrorism and whether an act is considered terrorism or freedom fighting often depends on one's perspective. Counter-terrorism involves preemptive military or intelligence actions, increasing security, and more permissive interrogation policies for suspected terrorists.
