OBS

Ce terrorisme est le fait de militants fédérés autour d'une idée particulière (défense des animaux, écologie, racisme ou groupes anti-avortement). Ils n'ont pas d'idéologie bien définie et ne recherche pas de réelle victoire politique. En fait, souvent leur cause peut être légitime mais leurs méthodes sont criminelles.
