Abstract
The authors claim that contemporary international terrorism differs a little from the acts of violence that took place in ancient history. Such an example of the use of political terrorism was Sicarii, a Jewish sect operating in Palestineand Egypt in the years 66-73 CE. Almost all information about this group comes from Flavius Josephus, a Roman historian of Jewish origin. The term sicarii itself has a Latin etymology and means murderers or assassins. It appeared in legal Latin in 81 BCE together with the Act Lex Cornelia de sicariis et veneficis, which was one of the first legal regulations in the field of serious organized crime. The Sicarii, however, fought in their own country with the intention of liberating it from the rule of a foreign power, Rome. Using the available source materials, the authors analyzed a typical attack made by Sicarii and confronted it with the achievements of modern forensics and experience in the field of secret services. This made it possible to establish the conditions that had to be met for such an attack. To take place to effectively use terrorism for political struggle by the Sicarii.
作者声称,当代国际恐怖主义与古代历史上发生的暴力行为略有不同。使用政治恐怖主义的一个例子是公元66-73年在巴勒斯坦和埃及活动的一个犹太教派“锡卡里”。几乎所有关于这个群体的信息都来自犹太血统的罗马历史学家弗拉维乌斯·约瑟夫斯。sicarii这个词本身有一个拉丁词源,意思是杀人犯或刺客。它是在公元前81年以法律拉丁文出现的,同时出现的还有Cornelia de sicariis et venicis法,后者是有严重组织犯罪领域的第一批法律条例之一。然而,西西里人在自己的国家作战,目的是将其从外国势力罗马的统治下解放出来。作者利用现有的原始材料,分析了Sicarii发动的一次典型攻击,并用现代法医学的成就和特务领域的经验对其进行了分析。这就有可能确定进行这种攻击必须满足的条件。让恐怖分子有效地利用恐怖主义进行政治斗争。
