        I am using this source as a means of identifying terrorism as it is defined in a legal dictionary. This source will help broaden peoples awareness of what terrorism is and how political parties use terror against the people. It will also help in alerting people that terrorism is not just a foreign issue. This source defines terrorism as " the unlawful use of threat or violence especially against the state or public as a politically motivated means of coercion."
