Sensing & Surviving Terrorism

Features Sensing & Surviving Terrorism

This reference publication gives an overview of terrorism, explains antiterrorism individual protective measures, andwhat to do if taken hostage.There are three perspectives of terrorism: the terrorist’s, the victim’s, and the general public’s.
The phrase “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter” is a view terrorists themselves would accept.
Terrorists do not see themselves as evil.
They believe they are legitimate combatants, fighting for what they believe in, by whatever means possible.
A victim of a terrorist act sees the terrorist as a criminal with no regard for human life.
The general public’s view is the most unstable.
The terrorists take great pains to foster a “Robin Hood” image in hope of swaying the general public’s point of view toward their cause.
