Best Answer

Terrorismis the systematic use of

terror, often violent, especially as a means of

coercion. In the

international community, however, terrorism has no legally binding, criminal law

definition.

[1][2]Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror); are perpetrated for a religious, political or, ideological goal; and deliberately target or disregard the safety of

non-combatants(civilians). Some definitions now include acts of

unlawfulviolence and war. The use of similar tactics by criminal organizations for

protection racketsor to enforce a

code of silenceis usually not labeled terrorism, though these same actions may be labeled terrorism when done by a politically motivated group.
