Terrorist Criminal Procedural Law Of Countermeasures

In pace with terrorism indulging in wanton massacre and spreading quickly in the whole world, the international zeal of anti-terrorism runs higher and higher. Especially in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, international society has reached an all-time consistency on anti-terrorism.
