Impact of terrorism, especially 9/11

Impact of terrorism, especially 9/11.

World Trade Center on September 11th 2001.

Terrorism greatly increased as a form of warfare following the middle of the twentieth century up until now. It is a strategic use of terror by the use of violent acts or coercion at targeted areas considered safe by the public. 9/11 is the most significant terrorist attack to this date and still has effects to this day. This attack triggered the "War on Terror", which included the invasion of Afghanistan to overthrow the Taliban, known al-Qaeda sympathisers; and the Second Gulf War, as the US, among others, thought that Saddam Hussein supported al-Qaeda along with terrorism in general.
