Definitions:

Terrorism

Defined by American law as premeditated, politically motivated violence against noncombatant targets including unarmed or off-duty military personnel by subnational groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience. However, a broader definition would include the use by states of indiscriminate violence against civilians in order to achieve military and political goals. Moreover, what one side in a conflict would call terror might be regarded by the other side as legitimate resistance to occupation, as well as ethnic, religious, or national oppression.
