Abstract: The international terrorism is today seeing its expansion, expressed first of all in the domain of quality. Owing to the constants that are promoting it ever further, this form of terrorism is recurring in cycles, emerging in each cycle improved and more effective, with additional elements of surprise. The logic of political terrorism ensues from a politically motivated intention to cause, by application of terrorist acts against carefully selected targets, desired effects and consequences in a target country or in international stage or relations. Their organization and tactical features are versatile or vary between extremes of their forms and substance. While the entire pyramid of their violence is situated in deep illegality, where on the degree of comparativeness depends not only the success of the undertaken terrorist action but frequently the very fate of the entire terrorist organization, in the phases of realization of the action this organization counts on the maximum publicity, which cumulatively affects the society, creating also secondary or side effects, which are actually the desired end results of terrorist activity. The organized opposing and fighting the terrorism is a constant preoccupation of the international community. Numerous summit meetings, resolutions, conclusions and organized activities for suppressing and fighting the terrorism should thwart terrorist activities, from which are not spared the society and individuals the world over, the race and religion of people of different nations, and their technological level, notwithstanding.
