Terrorism is defined as the deliberate use of violence or force against people or property with the intent to disrupt economic well-being, create fear, diminish confidence in the government and cause injury or death. It can be committed by an individual or a group within or outside of the U.S. Often terrorism is spurred by religious, political or ideological beliefs and can have an immediate impact or planned for a delayed, long-term impact. Some common targets are public events, infrastructure, and agriculture.
