Terrorism is the act of using intimidation and violence unlawfully to instill fear for political and social gain. Terrorism can be either domestic where the citizens execute terrorism without foreign influence or either international, where foreign governments go beyond their nation's boundaries (Hoffman, 2006). In the aim to respond and combat the terrorism act, the government is faced with quite several challenges. Radicalization is a key factor in hinder the fight against terrorism in terms of corruption among people in government, oppression against the less powerful countries, and religious extremism. Another challenge is dealing with terrorism is the lack of respect and upholding human rights; when people's rights are denied, they try to seek justice on their hands through terror activities strategies. Also, several countries especially the third world countries have limited resources to investing technology to help them detect the attacks and intercept the missiles before they hit the ground (Weinberg at el., 2004).

To deal with terrorism, the government is obliged to improve the border controls by deploying more military forces. This will limit the movement of foreign travelers without legal documents into the country who might be the agents of terrorism. Several countries within the EU have taken the intuitive to introduce temporary controls at the borders. In addition, ensuring that the individual human rights are observed, and respect will prevent the abused citizens or states from taking actions in their hands in the search for justice. By doing so, they will be minimal chance of terrorist attacks the public also ought to be alert and report any suspicious activities within their neighborhood for the authorities to take the necessary measures before the terrorist could launch their attacks. The provision of finance to fund the anti-terrorism department in detect and intercepting attacks before they happen will help in reducing the magnitude of the attacks and aid I recovery of the country (Woolsey, 2002).
