Abstract: There is probably no greater security challenge for security services than a terrorist attack. Terrorist attacks are always politically motivated. When the prosecutor opts for the qualification of a criminal act that left behind human victims and destruction, if he discovers a political (ideological) motive, there is no dilemma - it is a terrorist act. The goals of the terrorist cells are clear: using violence to instill fear and panic among citizens and government structures, all in order to achieve political concessions. No one is safe or protected - is the basic message of terrorists. The topic of the work will be terrorist organizations and the method of carrying out a terrorist act. Is it still a suicide vest, a Kalashnikov, explosives, or do you reach for a simpler tool (knife, axe, truck)? The objectives, characteristics and methods of carrying out terrorist attacks are becoming diverse. In any case, the consequences of terrorism are terrifying, primarily in terms of loss of human life.
