 WHO PROVIDES FUNDS TO TERRORIST.
 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
 CONCLUSION.

3.  The word terrorism was first used in France to
describe a new system of government adopted
during the French revolution.(1789-1799).
 Theirintention was to promote democracy and to
write-off the revolution of its enemies and there by
purifying it. However , the oppression and the violent
excesses the revolution and transformed it into the
feared instrument of state.
 From that time on, terrorism has had a decidedly
negative connection. 3

4.  Terrorist is not new, and even though it has been used
since the beginning of recorded history it can be
relatively hard to define.
 The strategy of terrorist is to commit act of violence,
which draws the attention of local population and the
respective government.

5. A Terrorist group commits acts
of violence to:-
 Produce wide spread fear.
 To capture the attention of the media.
 Harass, weaken, or embarrass government
security forces.
 Steal or extort money & equipment to fulfill
their operation of their group.
 Destroy facilities or disrupt lines of
communication.

6.  Discourage foreign investments, tourism, or
assistance programs that can affect the
target country’s economy and support of the
government in power.
 Influence government decisions, legislation,
or other critical decisions.
 Free prisoners.

7.  TO carry on a mission that is a terror attack the
terrorists require a lot of fund. Saudi Arabia remains
the world's leading source of money for Al Qaeda
and other extremist networks.
 Furthermore, terrorist organizations have created
links with the Russian Mafia, Colombian drug cartel,
and a number of other international criminal
organizations. These links of politics, money,
geography, and arms create a mutually beneficial
relationship that allows both the terrorists and the
criminal organizations to prosper.

8.  Drug trafficking, an estimated $2 trillion market per
year, has become the best weapon for terrorists.
Beyond helping terrorists to finance their wide range
of illegal activities, the drug market has also allowed
terrorist organizations to undermine targeted
countries both politically and economically.
 Terrorists also generate money from criminal
activities such as extortion, prostitution rings, video
pirating, and drug trafficking which gives them $2
trillion per year

9.  Satellite phone
 Google earth

10. World Trade Center : 11th
September 2001

11. Mumbai : 26th November 2008

12. Lahore :
Pakistan

13. In all such terror attacks Information Technology has
been extensively used
(or rather misused)
In fact the terrorism is day by day becoming more &
more techno-savvy without which it may not achieve
the expected results
For Example --------

15.  Satellite
phone is the greater invention in IT
Technology.
 The greater advantage of satellite phone is that, the
instrument can be used in any where all around the
world.
 IT
does not require any sim card facility ,it is directly
connected to the satellite.
 Thus Due to which it helps them to communicate
easily.
 Thissatellite phones was used by terrorist in this
recent Mumbai attack.

16. Among the other objects found in the boat used
by the terrorists, satellite phone, a model, was
discovered which could be the key to find more
information about the terrorists
“On 2008 Nov. 18, Indian intelligence also
intercepted a satellite phone call to a number
in Pakistan known to be used by a leader of the
terror group, Lashkare Taiba, believed to be
responsible for the weekend attack”

17. Among all the commercial technologies used by the
terrorists are GPS and SATELLITE PHONES
Locations were pinpointed by using GPS very
accurately during Mumbai attack
The terrorists used them to monitor the situation
using British medias
It appears the terrorists proclaimed their identity
by sending various forged emails to news outlets by
using a REMAILERS

18. French counter-terror experts leading an international
inquiry into the attacks discovered that a facility, set up
there by Abu Musab al Zarqawi, al Qaeda’s late Iraq
commander, had developed the new design which works
through Internet messengers like Skype or MSN.
Network-connected mobile phones can remotely detonate
over the Internet simultaneous explosions hundreds of
miles apart, anywhere in the world

19. Google Earth provides
free Internet satellite
pictures to sensitive
locations in India, which
are being misused by
terror agents.

20. CONCLUSION
Information technology is a very high tech
system It provides lots of knowledge to the new
generation
It should be used for the welfare and the
progress of the society …..
…..so let us hope it will be used for the benefits
of the mankind only
