The artificial intelligence is very capable of for hunting the terrorists in the cities. This kind of systems can network a different kind of sensors like surveillance cameras, drone pictures, and the social media pictures together. In those systems are used the technology, what is created to uncover the dangerous people in the railway stations. If some people talk to the mobile telephone, the system can send the drone to see that place, and sometimes the person will stand alone in some hill, and the drone can get the good image from that person's face. The voice records can use to compile the captured voice with some telephone calls what are captured from the telemarketers and another kind of telephone discussions.

Those systems bases the image recognition system, what will notice if some person might match with the picture of the terrorist. The warm jackets or vest in the shiny summer day will wake up the system operators, the unattended packages with nervous and angry behavior will alert the security persons. Also if some persons will start acting abnormal way will give the signal of the possible terrorist. One of the best things to get to the list of the terrorists is to buy the AK-47 assault rifle and make a couple of selfies with it.


And of course, the AK-47 can easily connect to the radical political movements with tattoos or T-skirts, where are the signs of some terrorist organizations, and if there are some posters of the terrorist organizations on the wall, will the police come to visit in that persons home. Also, telling lies about some things like asks of the trip to the Middle East will bring the person to the list of terrorists. If the person claims ever visiting the Middle East, but there was the evidence of airplane tickets to Tunis, that will make security personnel suspicious with this thing.


One of the signs is that the person, who uses lots of credit card, will suddenly make big shopping by using the cash or starts to use a different kind of clothes, what the suspect have used before. Also, changes in the shopping behavior and sudden need for particular medicines will mean that the person is planning something, what is the very bad thing for another people. In this category of terrorists are also other mass murdered people, who are motivation is not political or religious.


Also, the writings what support terrorism or another criminal activity will bring the person on the list of the potential terrorists. The threating other people and implying of violent actions against other people will sometimes put the person on the list of terrorist. Terrorism is a crime, where will become five or more victims. And many terror organizations will get their financial support by selling drugs. And also some organizations sell the strikes like political murders to Mafia, to get the first aid equipment.


The artificial intelligence can recognize people's faces bt infra-red cameras, and if some well-known terrorist will see in the scope of Predator, the target will be eliminated immediately. Those computer programs can recognize also weapons, and the person with assault rifles will authorize the strike against the target.


The UCAV can be equipped with "auto-fire"-mode, what allows it to open fire against any hostile target, and this is the thing, what frightens some people. If the "Killer drone" will see the target, and it is in the database, where is the "hit list", the target will be eliminated, and those drones don't care who they will shoot, what makes them very dangerous. If somebody will put some personal enemy's picture to that system,  that misuse of the system will cause the horrible situation, when combat drone executes the innocent person.
