OBOROŽENE SILE KOT POMEMBEN DEJAVNIK V BOJU PROTI TERORIZMU<br />
We can see from the graph that the most frequent methods used by terrorists in<br />
executing terrorist acts are armed attacks, placing of different explosive devices<br />
(bombs) and kidnappings which end with death of hostages.<br />
It is very important to show also categories of persons that are the most frequent<br />
victims of terrorist attacks. Therefore, I will show the data for 2005.<br />

We can see that civil victims represent more than a half of all victims of<br />
terrorism in 2005. Terrorism in its execution phase is becoming more and more<br />
uncompromising. Terrorist groups do not only target at governmental structures<br />
and institutions, but direct their actions against civil population to cause a greater<br />
number of victims.<br />
