Nice work.  There are a few things we can talk about to make sure you're using these new words correctly.

  1. Families are IN poverty.  They can also LIVE IN poverty.  The word poverty is a living condition, so you need the word "in" in front of it.
  2. The word intrigue has a more positive meaning than the terrorists' intent in your sentence.  Intriguing means having an interest in something you like or are curious about; for instance, I think Willy Wonka is intriguing.
