| − | A terrorist is someone who overpowers others with terror, who uses intimidation or fear to overpower another.
| + | Using terroristic tactics to coerce behavior in another person or group is generally accepted as a definition of a terrorist. However, no convenient definition exists as the nature of terrorism makes the definition mutable. One who uses such terroristic tactics (suicide bombings, snipers, assassination, random bombings, etc.) can often be described as such, but again, the definition is a key subject of debate in intelligence, academic and diplomatic circles. |
