The act of terrorism can be described in its broadest sense to be an intentionally indiscriminate violence with a view to creating fear, terror and to achieve political, religious or ideological aim. Terrorism in this regardrefers to war against non-combatants or violence against peacetime targets.

The origin of the terms terrorist and terrorism dates back to the French revolution of the late 18th century. However, it gained popularity between 1981 to 1989 during the U.S presidency of Ronald Reagan immediately after the 1983 Beirut barracks bombings and the attacks on Washington D. C in September 2001.

It should be noted that there is no commonly accepted definition of the term terrorism; it is often used both by governments and non-state groups to denounce or abuse opposing groups, thereby furthering their objectives such as right-wing and left-wing political organizations, religious groups, nationalist groups, revolutionaries and ruling governments. Parliamentary legislations in so many countries relating to terrorism have been adopted as crime against humanity. However, there is no universal agreement whether or not terrorism should be regarded as a war crime.
