VI. Read and translate the following text without a dictionary:
Political violence has characterized the last years of this and will characterize the early decades of the twenty-first century. One prominent form will be the practice of terrorism. The universal availability of weapons, explosives, and technologically sophisticated timing and triggering devices, along with the global communication revolution, adds to the terrorists' capabilities. Increased capabilities include, coordinated, nearly simultaneous attacks in several countries, fax death threats, and comparison of target lists by computer. Concurrently, intrastate conflicts, political uncertainty, and growth of ethnic challenges to the administrative state are weakening the states' security capabilities. Coupled with the increased porosity of state borders, these trends are making it easier for the terrorist to move anywhere in the world with little chance of being apprehended or even identified.
Future terrorism is likely to include higher than ever levels of violence. Although technology aids in the defense against terrorism, it also provides terrorists with increased opportunities. Terrorists can operate in cyber space to destroy or manipulate information for their own purposes. Skilled "hackers" with terrorist intent can access all but the most secure data banks, stealing or changing information, or destroying it. Access to police and other security files can keep terrorists one step ahead of their government opponents.
Seeking more spectacular attacks, terrorists may poison water supplies or create ecological disasters by starting fires and causing chemical spills. The potential for using weapons of mass destruction, including biological and nuclear material, exists.
