INTRODUCTION

In 2003, the UN Inter-Agency Task Force on Sport for Development and Peace Defined sport as: all forms of physical activity that contribute to physical fitness, Mental well-being and social interaction, such as play, recreation, organized or Competitive sport, and indigenous sports and games. This is a slightly abbreviated Version of the definition given in the European Sports Charter (2001): Sport means all Forms of physical activity which, through casual or organized participation, aim at Expressing or improving physical fitness and mental well-being, forming relationships or obtaining results in competitions at all levels. Terrorism is defined by the United States Department of State (2011 Sec. 2656f (d) 2) as 'premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by sub national groups or clandestine agents'. Ruby (2002) refers to terrorism as an act that is committed in order to create a fearful state of mind in an audience different from the victims. The victims of terrorist acts are not the intended targets. They are merely sacrificed in order to instil fear in the witnesses and governments (Bergesen, 2006). Governments are likely to react when their citizens are casualties of a terrorist attack. Terrorists generally are trying to raise awareness of their plight or predicament and terrorism is an effective method to gain the desired attention. It is difficult to acquire immunity from terrorism; even if terrorism does not take place in ones home country, innocent individuals can be victims of a terrorist attack while travelling overseas. Terrorists will often attempt to gain maximum attention while expending very little effort and resources. They tend to attack soft targets which include restaurants, hotels, schools and cinemas (Goslin, 2008; Brandt & Sandler, 2010). They often try to focus their efforts where international tourists gather which will ensure the attention of the world media. For example, an attack on a hotel with international guests will attract the attention of government in the countries of their origin. Sport events have been disrupted by terrorism 168 times in the last 32 years, which is approximately five attacks every year (Taylor & Toohey, 2007). International sporting events are popular targets for terrorists because they attract media from around the

world, making terrorism an attractive technique for those who wish to raise matters that are very important to them.
