A '''false flag''' operation is a covert or [[underground]] operation intended to appear as though it were being carried out by other entities. The purpose is [[propaganda]], to gain sympathy for the "attacked" and against the "attackers". The term originates from piracy on the high seas, where a pirate ship would sail under a "false flag" to get closer to a target vessel before raising the "[[Jolly Roger]]".
