How is terrorism enacted today and how does it differ from conventional warfare?

What will be an ideal response?


1. Conventional warfare involves the “theater of war” and restricts warfare to designated arenas, intentionally limiting undue harm to civilians.
2. Terrorism is a kind of free-for-all type warfare – the intent is to harm civilians.
3. Terrorism is enacted through physical violence (e.g., bombings/shootings), but also is done through computer hacking (i.e., cyber-terrorism).
