From the Paper:

"September 11, 2001, the date the United States was dropped to its knees by multiple terrorist attacks by four terrorist-related plane crashes, brought terrorism to the national and international forefront once again. Although there are no black and white answers when it comes to determining whether a particular group is a terrorist one or merely on devoted to fighting for and improving the rights of individual citizens, it is crucial to analyze and examine both past and present terrorist groups and their actions in order to gain a better understanding. For regardless of whether a particular group is hailed as political fighters or terrorists, the impacts and ramifications of their actions, both violent and non-violent, are felt by every citizen."
