Terrorism is an age-old concept.<\/p>\n
Some people think the first attack happened in the first century against Roman collaborators.<\/p>\n
But modern terrorism is thought to come out of mid-19th century France, when good-quality, affordable explosives hit the market and radical political movements became more prominent.<\/p>\n
It came to the U.S. during the same time frame.<\/p>\n

Domestic terror remains persistent overall, according to the FBI.<\/p>\n
The FBI says people cross the line from exercising First Amendment freedoms to committing crimes in hopes of furthering violent agendas.<\/p>\n

To meet the evolving threat, law enforcement is constantly changing its approach.<\/p>\n
