	Domestic terrorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Domestic terrorism is a phrase used to describe some acts of political violence within a state that are carried out or commissioned by forces inside or originating from that state, as opposed to external attacks.
		Examples of recent domestic terrorism are the Oklahoma City bombing, the Atlanta Olympics pipebombing, the Sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway, and David Copeland's nailbombing campaign against ethnic minorities and gays in London.
		Domestic terrorism was considered rare in the United States, by those who do not its history well.

	Terrorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term terrorism is largely synonymous with "political violence," and refers to a strategy of using coordinated attacks that typically fall within the time, manner of conduct, and place commonly understood as unconventional warfare.
		According to the definition of terrorism typically used by states, academics, counter-terrorism experts, and non-governmental organizations, "terrorists" are actors who don't belong to any recognized armed forces, or who don't adhere to their rules, and who are therefore regarded as "rogue actors".
		The term "terrorism" is often used to assert that the violence of an enemy is random, immoral, wanton, and unjustified and to justify violent reprisals.

	Federal Bureau of Investigation - Congressional Testimony
		International terrorism involves violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or any state, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or any state.
		Acts of international terrorism are intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policy of a government, or affect the conduct of a government.
		Domestic terrorism is the unlawful use, or threatened use, of violence by a group or individual based and operating entirely within the United States (or its territories) without foreign direction, committed against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.

	American Civil Liberties Union : How the USA PATRIOT Act redefines "Domestic Terrorism"
		The definition of domestic terrorism is broad enough to encompass the activities of several prominent activist campaigns and organizations.
		This conduct would fall within the definition of domestic terrorism because the protesters broke federal law by unlawfully entering the airbase and their acts were for the purpose of influencing a government policy by intimidation or coercion.
		Thus, domestic terrorism could include acts which "cause serious physical injury or death" rather than all acts that are "dangerous to human life." This more narrow definition will exclude the conduct of organizations and individuals that engage in minor acts of property damage or violence.

	Domestic Terrorism: Notes on the State System of Oppression, by Noam Chomsky
		This was in Seattle, where it was revealed that FBI infiltrators had been engaged in a campaign of arson, terrorism, and bombings of university and civic buildings, and where the FBI arranged a robbery, entrapping a young fl man who was paid $75 for the job and killed in a police ambush.
