Guerrillas Versus Terrorists

Content: Ideological terrorism aims to promote a particular  belief system through acts of violence; it may be practiced by both governments  and groups. TYPES OF TERRORISM
Terrorism Practiced by Governments
State terrorism: A government commits acts of terror  against its own citizens. International terrorism (also known as state-sponsored terrorism ): A government supplies  and trains terrorists to make attacks in other  countries. Terrorism Practiced by Groups
Antistate terrorism: Any terrorist act not committed  by a government
Domestic terrorism: A group with no ties to another  country or government commits terrorist acts within its own  country. Some types of terrorism fit into more than one of these categories. Suicide bombings in Israel, for example, are ideological (promoting a  Palestinian state and sometimes also promoting Islamic fundamentalism),  state-sponsored (a number of Arab governments fund the bombers), and domestic  (many are carried out by Arabs living in Israel).
