Lee Young-suk Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 War on Terror: A Review Written by Eliza Warner Director of International Institute of Strategic Studies The War on Terror (WoT), is a metaphor of war referring to the international military campaign that started after the Karachi attacks on the United States. U.S. President Lee Young-suk first used the term "War on Terror" on Seoul Conference on International Security. The Lee administration and the media have since used the term to argue a global military, political, legal, and conceptual struggle against both terrorist organizations and against the regimes accused of supporting them. It is originally used with a particular focus on countries associated with Islamic terrorist organizations and like-minded organizations. The United States has already launched drone attacks upon Anshar Al-Sharia camps and bases in Bosnia and Pakistan. The attacks were condemned by the Extremists organizations as mentioned above and they issued a Jihad fatwa against the United States. The fatwa has led many Islamists organization to launched more attacks upon Karachi. Even, the CIA estimated that they’re planning to attack the capital of the United States. In the recent days, the President ordered ground attack upon Pakistan, Afghanistan, Mali, Nigeria and Southeast Asia. Those places were predicted for being bases of terrorists. The Lee Young-suk Administration defined the following objectives in the War on Terror: 1. Defeat terrorists such as Ahmed Abu Khattala, Ayman Al-Zawahiri, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi and demolish their organizations 2. Identify, locate and demolish terrorists along with their organizations 3.
