#counter-terrorism

• Anti-terror — A shortened term, frequently used in daily, journalistic, and military language, for actions, troops, or devices intended for the direct combating of terrorism. It refers specifically to special rapid response units, tactical equipment, or assault operations designed to neutralize terrorists in hostage crises or imminent armed attacks.
• Counter-terrorism — The set of political doctrines, military strategies, national laws, intelligence measures, and international treaties adopted by a state or a coalition with the aim of preventing, discouraging, and countering terrorist threats. Unlike direct tactical intervention (anti-terror), counter-terrorism includes long-term strategies, such as cutting off financing sources for extremist groups, intelligence gathering, and combating radicalization.
• Counter-terrorist — The feminine form of the adjective or noun antiterorist; relating to the assembly of measures, tactics, or units organized to combat armed extremism (e.g., counter-terrorist brigade, anti-terrorist action) or a female combatant integrated into the elite structures of special intervention forces.
• Car bomb — A road vehicle (car, truck, or utility vehicle) inside which a substantial load of explosive substances has been concealed, designed to be detonated remotely, by a timer, or by a suicide bomber in order to destroy military targets, critical infrastructure, or to cause casualties among the civilian population. In modern security terminology, it represents a devastating form of vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED).
