| | Terrorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Those who disagree with these definitions may use the term "state terror" to describe the actions of official groups such as the Gestapo, the KGB and the Stasi of East Germany against dissidents or ethnic minorities among their own citizens. | | | In response to the September 11 attacks, political leaders from Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East have placed the phenomenon of terrorism within the context of a global struggle against systems of government perceived by those accused of using terrorist tactics as harmful to their interests. | | | The September 11, 2001 attacks were allegedly carried out by foreigners who entered the USA for that purpose, on behalf of a foreign organization, operating from bases in a remote country. |

| | Defining Terrorism |
| | The claim that a freedom fighter cannot be involved in terrorism, murder and indiscriminate killing is, of course, groundless. | | | Thus, for instance, the possibility should be considered of bringing to criminal trial, under specific charges of terrorism, individuals involved in terrorist activities, while allotting prisoner of war status to those accused of involvement in guerrilla activities. | | | The present view, claiming it is unnecessary and well-nigh impossible to agree on an objective definition of terrorism, has long established itself as the “politically correct” one. |
