Definición

  • The attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon on September 11, 2001, represented the most significant single act of international antistate terrorism in history, with roughly 3,000 people killed and damage estimates as high as $1 trillion. Until the September 11 attacks, it was generally state governments that had committed the most significant actions in terms of death and destruction, either in the repression of various partisan groups within state territory (often repressing groups that were believed to have obtained external financing or support) or in the form of state-supported terrorism against other states or against movements outside the state's borders.
