Terrorism is a term used to describe violence or other harmful acts committed (or threatened) against civilians by groups or persons for political or other ideological goals. Most definitions of terrorism include only those acts which are intended to create fear or "terror, " are perpetrated for a political goal (as opposed to a hate crime or "madman" attack), and deliberately target "non-combatants.".
