According to the FBI, the definition of terrorism is:

Terrorism is the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives

Hvis definitionen passer, så er det jo ikke “optøjer” vi er udsat for. Så er det jo terrorisme og i visse tilfælde statsterrorisme.
