About the Encyclopedia of Terrorism

Welcome to the Encyclopedia of Terrorism in the Americas containing the essentials on the multifaceted and reactionary violence promoted, supported and carried out by both the U.S. government and its servants in Latin America. With this online publication, we are fulfilling the agreements reached at the International Conference in Defense of Humanity held in Caracas, the capital of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, on December 2-4, 2004 and the International Conference against Terrorism, for Truth and Justice held in Havana, Cuba, on June 2-4, 2005. At both meetings, the delegates claimed that there should be a way to spread the truth about such crimes.

A group of Latin American professionals have undertaken the essential and new but, at the same time, complex task of creating this virtual encyclopedia. It uses the MediaWiki technology that guarantees ongoing management and updating of its contents. Thanks to the collaboration of leading scholars on the subject, it will contain much historical research and critical journalism concerning the terrorism made in the U.S.
