INTRODUCTION
Man-Made hazards OR Anthropogenic hazards can result in the form of a Man-Made disaster. In this case, anthropogenic means threats having an element of human intent, negligence, or error; or involving a failure of a human-made system. This is as opposed to natural hazards that cause natural disasters. Either can result in huge losses of life and property as well as damage to peoples' mental, physical and social well-being.
TERRORISM
• Terrorism is not new and even though it has been used since the early times of recorded history, it can be relatively hard to define terrorism. The United States Department of
Defense defines terrorism as:“the calculated use of unlawful violence or threat of unlawful violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological.”
OSAMA BIN LADEN
Osama bin Laden can be said as the most dangerous and most wanted terrorist of all time. By 1993, Osama had formed a secret network known as Al Qaeda that comprised of militant Muslims.
On May 1, 2011, American soldiers killed alQaida leader Osama bin Laden at his compound near Islamabad, Pakistan.
Intelligence officials believe bin Laden was responsible for many deadly acts of terrorism, including the September 11, 2001 attacks on the Pentagon and the World
Trade Center.
1993 BOMBAY BOMBINGS
The 1993 Bombay bombings were a series of 13 bomb explosions that took place in
Bombay, India on 12 March 1993. The coordinated attacks were the most destructive bomb explosions in Indian history. The single-day attacks resulted in over 350 fatalities and 1200 injuries.
The attacks were coordinated by Dawood
Ibrahim, don of the Mumbai-based international organised crime syndicate
