Key Issue 4: Why Has Terrorism Increased?  Point 1 – Terrorism is the systematic use of violence by a group in order to intimidate a population or coerce a government into granting its demands.  Point 2 – Terrorists believe that violence is necessary to bring widespread publicity to goals and grievances that are not being addressed through peaceful means.  Point 3 – Terrorists may strongly believe in their cause to the point of freely and purposely committing suicide to commit violent acts.

11.  Point 4 – Terrorism differs from assassinations and other acts of political violence because attacks are aimed at ordinary people rather than military targets or political leaders.
