Counterterrorism

Counterterrorism is when we try to stop bad people from hurting innocent people. Sometimes, bad people might want to hurt a lot of people because of things they believe in or because they don't like them.

To stop these bad people, we have people called counterterrorists who work really hard to make sure everyone is safe. They might have special training and skills to catch the bad people before they can hurt anyone.

Sometimes, counterterrorists work with other people like police officers, spies, and soldiers to make sure everyone is safe. They might use tools like cameras, computers, and weapons to do their job. The goal is to stop the bad people from doing harm so that we can all live happy and peaceful lives.
