Preferred term

terrorist groups  

Definition

  • Defining a terrorist group is as difficult as defining terrorism, which is a highly contested concept politically. There is no universally accepted, legally binding definition of the term, and national legislations or international organizations attach different meanings to the concept. [Source: International Encyclopedia of Political Science; Terrorist Groups]
