English 6

Terrorism is distinguished from other acts of violence and from war, by always having these four characteristics:

• Terrorists violate the rules of modern warfare, established in acts called the Geneva Conventions and Hague Conventions.

• Their goal is to achieve political change.

• Their targets are often symbols with political statements.

• Acts of terror are designed to get attention from the public and media.
