Warfare.
– Asymmetric warfare is the
use of apparently
random/unpredictable

ever occurred
• Primary prevention:
– Education!!!
– Understand the differences
in cultures, religions, beliefs
and human behaviors
– Think of the peace, freedom
and equality of all human
beings, not just “my group of
people”
– Eliminate the root of
terrorism
• Terrorism is unlawful act
• Terrorism has a long history of
being used to achieve political,
religious and ideological objectives
• Terrorism can be conducted
through firearms, explosive devices
and biological, chemical, nuclear
materials
• Even through the events of
2001,the risk of dying from
terrorism has remained much lower
than that from motor vehicles,
smoking, and alcoholic beverage.
The only thing we have
to fear is fear itself.
