Content: Throughout  history, terrorism has taken many forms. Just in the last two centuries, for  example, terrorism has been used by Russian nihilists, nationalists in Israel, Nazi  forces, environmentalists worldwide, left-wing guerrillas in Europe, discontented  radicals in the United States, Latin American death squads, and Islamic  fundamentalists.
