WHAT DOES COUNTER-TERRORIST MEAN IN ENGLISH?

counter-terrorist

Counter-terrorism

Counter-terrorism incorporates the practice, tactics, techniques, and strategies that governments, militaries, police departments and corporations adopt to attack terrorist threats and/or acts, both real and imputed. The tactic of terrorism is available to insurgents and governments. Not all insurgents use terror as a tactic, and some choose not to use it because other tactics work better for them in a particular context. Individuals, such as Timothy McVeigh, may also engage in terrorist acts such as the Oklahoma City bombing. If the terrorism is part of a broader insurgency, counter-terrorism may also form a part of a counter-insurgency doctrine, but political, economic, and other measures may focus more on the insurgency than the specific acts of terror. Foreign internal defense is a term used by the United States military for programs supporting other nations in their attempts either to suppress insurgency, lawlessness or subversion or reduce the conditions under which these threats to security could develop. Counter-terrorism includes both the detection of potential acts and the response to related events.
