 THREATS
The word “threat” literally means the
expression of an intention to inflict injury to
another.
Two elements are inferred from this
definition. The first is the intention force or the
means with which to carry out the intention.
The existence of the force or means alone,
without the intention to utilize such force or
means against the security of the state does not
necessarily constitute a threat
 NATIONAL SECURITY
• National Security – is the protection and
preservation of the integrity and
sovereignty of the state.

• Threat to National Security – is defined as

an intention, declared or indicated to
jeopardized, prejudice, or in any way
endanger by the use of force or any means,
the security of the state.
