The world is a dangerous place. No one is safe (as we all thought otherwise). The Americans believed that Al-Qaeda wasn't a real threat.........even after their embassies in Tanzania and Kenya were blown to pieces by this militant extremist group. It was only after 9/11 that the world took them seriously and would send shockwaves to the world that they are the world's most dangerous terrorist organization. They have stricken anywhere at anytime. They've done damage in America, UK, Spain, Germany, Indonesia and elsewhere. They've even proposed doing a 9/11 style attack on Singapore airport. With that, there is no limitation to where and when Al-Qaeda can strike. Their main goal is to destroy institutions, structures and property as well as to kill people just to send their message and accomplish their goals............but also because they want to strike fear.
Hence, because of that, since terrorism strikes globally, therefore fighting terrorism requires a global and cooperative approach. This involves sharing of intelligence as well as cooperation in exchange and sharing of information as well as joint training and exercises of police, military and counter-terrorism units of different countries and territories.
The point here is this: Terrorism has become global and as such, our efforts to fight it need to be made on a global scale as well.
