	Insurgency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Insurgents engage in regular or guerilla combat against the armed forces of the established regime.
		Insurgents usually are in opposition to a civil authority or government primarily in order to overthrow or obtain a share in government, to further a separatist or revolutionary agenda, or improve their condition.
		In cases of rebellions, the term insurgents refers to those who are not part of the decision-making entity that has the ability to make laws.

	Trends in Outside Support for Insurgent Movements (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		This may involve recognizing the insurgents as a legitimate government, pressuring the regime they are battling and denying them access to weapons of money, or otherwise trying to give the insurgency access to the benefits of being a legitimate political entity while denying the same to their adversary.
		The insurgents also are far more likely to be able to conduct massive and coordinated conventional attacks, enabling them to occupy territory, outgun and outmaneuver rival forces, and otherwise conduct operations that were previously beyond their capabilities.
		Insurgents, because of their access to sources in the area of conflict, are most likely suppliers of information to external supporters rather than recipients of intelligence from outside actors.

	Insurgent groups accused of war crimes - The Boston Globe
		BAGHDAD -- Insurgent groups in Iraq are committing war crimes by targeting civilians in mass killings, abductions, and beheadings, a human rights group said today.
		The group dismissed the arguments that insurgent groups and their supporters often use to justify attacks on civilians -- including that their victims are legitimate targets because they support foreign forces in Iraq.
		The laws of war do not outlaw insurgent groups or ban attacks on legitimate military targets, but they do oblige all forces in a conflict to protect civilians and other noncombatants, it said.

		The commonality is that the insurgents considered their target in some way associated with the U.S.-led Multi-National Force in Iraq or the country’s current government, which they view as an agent of the United States.
		For the insurgents, most of whom are Sunni Arabs, the Iraqi government is an illegitimate institution that serves the United States or is unfairly dominated by Shi`a Muslims and Kurds.
		Not only should all insurgent groups in Iraq cease such attacks, but the political and religious leaders in Iraq and other countries who have expressed support for the insurgency should condemn the targeting of civilians, all acts that put civilians unnecessarily at risk and the mistreatment of those in custody.
