  The case Most terrorismacts are of terrorists from other countries. One of the reasons why the London bombing was so shocking to all is that these bombers are British; they were born or brought up inside their country. That what terrifies people. Because we now have one more of the forces that can carry out terrorist attacks: our own people.
