In recent times, terror attacks have been happening all round the globe incessantly. Few years back, it was widely considered that the terror attack/terrorism is a third world phenomenon. However, with 9/11 all that has changed.
Terror got a new face after 9/11. The world today has come to understand that terror has no boundaries. The Indian parliament attack in 2001, Bali bombings of 2002, the Madrid train bombings in 2004, the Beslan massacre in Russia in 2004, the London bombings of 2005, the Mumbai train bombings of 2006, the Glasgow airport attack of 2007, are all testimony to one fact: that terrorism affects the entire world and is not limited to any one country or area.
Post 9/11, there has been a concerted effort from all the international leaders to act together in fighting terrorism. However, in spite of all the actions taken by the international community, terror continues to raise its head with impunity. The recent terror attacks in Mumbai prove that not much progress has been achieved in the fight against terrorism.
