This was used as part of a school project, so it fully contributed to our school work.

Our main research facility for this project was the Internet. Our project is netirely presented as a webpage, so it can be accessed universally.

Our aim was to show people around the world what terrorism had done in the past, and what its capabilities are today.

Our project may not be that influencial in our local community, but it was designed to raise awareness internationally.

Our society and environment teacher, Mr Hill gave us direction and helped us with our organisation. He also helped us with our design.
