Question

Discuss the ways state-organized crime can be characterized as terrorism. Cite specific examples that have had an impact on you or someone you know.

Answer 1

Past few decades, we have seen a large number of crime and homicides, most of time they are unidentified and related to several groups. The terrorism is not a new agenda, some countries supports these kind of activities for their interests. We can say that terrorists groups works uncontrolled but beyond this kind of theories we had experienced large number of state sponsored activities which showed the threat to peace and humanity, so that we can call it terrorism while the purpose of that kind of terrorism is to threat and unstable any country without direct war.

I would like to address state sponsored terrorism with the name of proxy war which is very suitable for those countries who are not able to engage in direct conflicts.

In 1980s, we had experienced American support to Mujahidin against Russia, Iranian supported activities against Israel and Pakistan supported activities against India, Afghanistan and America. The impact of state sponsored terrorism is vast and very effective rather than direct conflicts. We can engage with any country for a long period of time while in directs conflicts we cannot able to engage for a long time.
