[12 Oct 2012] Press TV Documentary - A Decade of Terrorism and Counter -Terrorism - English

State terrorism is a controversial term - used when arguing that terrorism can be carried out by governments. The concept of state terrorism and indeed of terrorism has its roots in the Reign of Terror in revolutionary France - and the Oxford English Dictionary still has a definition of terrorism as - Government by intimidation carried out by the party in power in France between 1789-1794

Few words are as politically or emotionally charged as TERRORISM. A 1988 study by the US Army counted 109 definitions of terrorism that covered a total of 22 different definitional elements. Terrorism expert Walter Laqueur in 1999 also has counted over 100 definitions and concludes that the only general characteristic generally agreed upon is that terrorism involves violence and the threat of violence. For this and for political reasons - many news sources avoid using this term - opting instead for less accusatory words like BOMBERS MILITANTS etc.

Human rights activists have condemned a new counter-terrorism law in Saudi Arabia. They say the law allows the kingdom to prosecute as a terrorist anyone who demands reform, exposes corruption or engages in dissent. The new law grants security services sweeping powers to track phone calls and raid homes without prior approval from a judge or even a superior. Human Rights activists say the law is aimed at keeping the kingdom\'s ruling al Saud firmly in control amid demands for democratic reforms. Saudi Arabia has adopted heavy handed tactics against pro-reform calls that have grown louder since the pro-democracy protests shook the region in 2011. Large numbers of Saudi dissidents have been put behind bars.
