Terrorism means the use or threat of action if this action may influence the

than that of the person committing the action, and creates a serious risk to the
health or safety of the public. Terrorists often use firearms or explosives for their
purposes. Terrorists may have plans to interfere with or seriously disrupt an
electronic system.
An organization is concerned in terrorism if it commits or participates in acts
of terrorism, prepares for terrorism, promotes or encourages terrorism.
Everybody sees the need for fight against terrorism and its financing.
Governments of different countries take measures to adapt domestic legislation and
international conventions to new technological and other developments of terrorists

Text B. FINANCING OF TERRORISM
Peoples of the world see the need for intensified international cooperation to
identify and neutralize funds for terrorist purposes. Such an undertaking is possible
only with a high degree of cooperation at the normative, operative and
implementation levels. While such an effort may not ensure the prevention of all
terrorist acts, it can contribute significantly to weakening terrorist infrastructures.
This is so especially if measures can neutralize terrorism’s legal sources of
financing, which in certain cases operate under the cover of humanitarian, nonprofit or even charitable organizations. It is also necessary to prevent general
criminal activities that often serve to finance terrorism such as trafficking drugs
and weapons in human beings. The systems and measures developed over the last
few years to prevent the laundering of proceeds from crime can, if conscientiously
applied, play a significant role in the detection, freezing and confiscation of
terrorist funds.

It happened in America not long after its colonization by the Spaniards. A
Spaniard stole an Indian’s horse. The Indian however found the thief and
demanded his horse back but the Spaniard refused to do it. The Indian sued him
and brought witnesses who could testify that it was his horse. But the judge of the
court was a dishonest man and often took bribes from the parties who came to the
court. The Indian knew this, and he invented a trick how to deceive the judge.
Before going to the court on the day of the trial he took a big stone and put it under
his arm. The judge noticed immediately that the Indian had something under his
arm and decided the case in the Indian’s favour. The verdict was to return the horse
to the Indian and to punish the Spaniard for theft. After the trial the judge asked the
Indian what he had under his arm and who it was meant for. The Indian showed
him the stone and explained that it was meant for the judge in case of a decision in
the Spaniard’s favour. The Indian taught the bribe-taker a good lesson.
