What is State Terrorism?
State terrorism is a form of terrorism committed by the government of a nation-state. This term has attracted some controversy, as it can involve fuzzy definitions and imperfect distinctions between the legitimate use of violence and intimidation and the illegitimate use of such tactics. Some nations such as Iran and Pakistan have been routinely singled out as terrorist states, but the label has been applied to a wide variety of other governments, including nations like the United States and Great Britain.
