1GLOBAL SECURITYTerrorism is very complex and continuously changing phenomenon that makes headlinesrelated to national and international agendas. It has various forms and is associated with variousgroups. It ranges from right-wing and left-wing groups, nationalist separatist organizations topolitical religious networks. They commit all the terrorist attacks based on their own ideologiesand mixed motivations (Muggah, 2018). The term jihads is used more widely after the 9/11attacks, since the year 1991. After the attack the government of United States had insistentlygenerated a new body related to the international law. This law is also called global security law,which is still the most persistent legacies since the so called ‘jihadis’ terrorist attack. The essaydiscusses the threats caused by jihadis terrorism to the Middle Eastern States than to the peoplebelonging to the Western countries. The high profile attacks that took place in the western countries like Belgium, UnitedStates and France have set the world on edge. The jihadis war is now stretching from theAmerican countries to Middle- East, African and Arabian countries. The people involved in thisare the group of terrorists like Al Qaeda and ISIS (Lekhraibani, Rutledge & Forstenlechner,2015). They are hitting particular groups of people or organization. In addition to this symbolicsites and popular cities are their main aim. The violent extremists are actually recruiting thepeople to spread this from the marginal and poorer neighborhood across the western countries.The extent to which the local-recruitment and extremist travelling is spread from the westerncountries is actually a cause of great concern (Seth et al., 2018). As per the reports 31,000 peoplefrom different countries are now travelled to Syria or Iraq to join ISIS and other extremist groupssince the year 2014. Besides North America and Western Europe, Central Asia and Russia isincreasingly becoming the fertile place for this remote radicalization.

There are dozens of jihadis terrorist attacks in the recent years. As per the GlobalTerrorism Database (GTD) the terrorist linked fatalities are tracked between 2005 and 2014 andmost of the countries that are affected now are in the Middle East. There is still an ongoingcontinuous warfare in the Middle East countries that includes Syria, Iraq, Yemen andAfghanistan. Majority of countries that are prone to jihadis terrorism is now clustered in theMiddle East, South Asia and Northern parts of Africa. In the name of jihads, innocent civilians are ultimately getting killed during the armedconflicts. As per Jalal (2015), there is quite a difference between war and terrorism. In warkilling the innocent civilians are strictly prohibited. While the jihadis terrorisms is intendedparticularly to kill the civilians indiscriminately. It is seen that generally small number ofcountries are relatively more at risk like, Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria (Archetti, 2015).
