Latest terrorist attacks in the world. Major global terrorist attacks: these are not forgotten

Terrorism is a method used by radical groups, based on intimidation and coercion of the authorities to make necessary decisions through hostage-taking in public places. Becoming one of the central problems of the 21st century terrorist activity annually claims the lives of many people on the planet, brings billions of dollars in losses and, despite the measures taken by law enforcement agencies, terrorism statistics are inexorably growing.

The most terrible reflection of this phenomenon is from terrorism. The spread of terrorism in the world involves the recruitment of mercenaries from various countries through social networks, the development of an extensive structure of underground branches in many states.

History of development

Since this phenomenon is usually understood as any acts, including monarchs, all kinds of riots and conspiracies, we can assume that there was terrorism back in ancient world and in the Middle Ages.

Most historians associate its emergence with the activities of the organizations formed in 1820 in Italy - “Commora” and “Brotherhood of the Carbonari”.

The first group was created for the purpose of bribing or intimidating prison guards into releasing them. The second was to protect dispossessed peasants from the lawlessness of landowners. Despite the fact that the tasks of these organizations were strikingly different, they used the same methods to achieve their goals - murder, intimidation, explosions.

This is how terrorism appeared in the world in the 19th century, and soon numerous parties and movements began to use this effective weapon for their own purposes. Further development terrorism in the world occurred very rapidly. For example, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, terror was widely used among various trends Russian revolutionary parties - nationalists, Socialist Revolutionaries, Bolsheviks.

In the USA long time(from 1865 to 1993) the far-right terrorist organization Ku Klux Klan operated against the African-American population of the country.

Over time, terrorism has undergone a transformation. IN modern world In addition to such types as nationalist, religious, ideological and political terrorism, informational terrorism has also appeared in the world. It manifests itself in cyber attacks on information resources (websites) with their hacking, dissemination of misinforming information through the media and promoting the formation of the desired views.

Recruitment is also taking place with the help of new militants, and videos of brutal executions of prisoners and ordinary residents are being disseminated. Information terrorism in the modern world, due to the large volume of Internet traffic and the enormous influence of the media on people’s opinions, becomes, along with traditional types, a serious threat.

Combat power and equipment of militants various types weapons are constantly growing. Therefore, nuclear terrorism in the modern world will soon cease to be a frightening myth. It could become a terrible reality .

Statistics of terrorism in the world

Terrorism in the modern world is technological, cruel and large-scale. In 2016, 1,787 terrorist attacks of various sizes were committed in many countries. Statistics of victims of terrorism in the world recorded 13,759 killed and 16,683 wounded. Most of them died as a result of bomb explosions planted by militants in crowded places.

The statistics of terrorism financing are quite high - the annual budget of the most influential terrorist organization, IS, according to experts, is about 3-5 billion dollars.

The amount of terrorist financing in the world is gradually increasing over the years. . This is facilitated by the seizure and resale by militants of various valuables and gas fields, human trafficking, as well as the flow of funds from states supporting the activities of IS.

Explosions in the Belarusian metro

Until recently, statistics on terrorism in this country were the lowest in the entire post-Soviet space. This trend was disrupted by an explosion in the Minsk subway. The terrorist attack on the Minsk metro on April 11, 2011 killed 15 people and injured 203 more. Officers detained two suspects, who subsequently gave confessions. Both were sentenced and shot.

The growth of terrorism in the world forces the authorities of many countries to develop a set of measures aimed at combating this negative phenomenon. Most effective methods fight against terrorism in the world:

• control and suppression of the activities of prohibited organizations extremist orientation;
• announcement of rewards for information about the location of persons suspects in this species;
• development and execution of joint military operations to eliminate terrorists in various countries;
• media control, information resources in global network regarding their involvement in militant organizations;
• outreach to the public countries in order to inform about methods for recognizing potential terrorists and behavior when detecting suspicious objects.

These methods make it possible not only to combat the consequences of terrorist attacks, but also to prevent them. Their implementation of methods is carried out by such organizations in the fight against terrorism in the world as Interpol, the UN, NATO, and the EU.

An important fact is the strengthening of counteraction to terrorism in the world by vigilant citizens, thanks to whom many explosions and other illegal actions were prevented.

Also not the least important in anti-terrorist measures are the following: legal means combating it such as licensing the activities of parties, movements and religious communities, banning sects and organizations that incite ethnic hatred, restricting or banning the issuance of firearms permits.

Conclusion

Terrorism statistics in 2017 have already been replenished with new cases. Despite all the measures taken, the problem remains relevant. There is no answer yet to the question of how to save the world from terrorism.

Numerous socio-economic aspects contribute to the development of this phenomenon, as well as human nature, which contains the desire to own a large number material assets, power and territories, hatred of those who differ in skin color and religion.

The mortality rate and number of injuries caused by terrorism over the entire period of its existence can be compared with dangerous disease. Until a “cure” for this disease is found, the statistics of international terrorism will be replenished with new acts of violence, hostage-taking, and bomb explosions, claiming more and more human lives.

A terrorist act is a shame for all humanity. History remembers many brutal murders and bloody wars, but no war can compare with the cruelty and mercilessness of the organizers and perpetrators of these incidents.

Apart from the generally accepted statistics of deaths and injuries, no one undertakes to evaluate the social and psychological impact on people who witnessed terrible events. People who have experienced post-traumatic shock experience nightmares throughout their lives with memories of the events they experienced.

The attacks were carried out by fanatics of all stripes: religious radicals, nationalists and crazy revolutionaries. Each villain had their own wild explanations. But all the victims were united by one common feature- defenselessness.

The sad statistics of victims of terrorist attacks in the world is growing every year. Data on the number of victims of acts of intimidation from 1994 to 2015.
