This category is for individuals only. For organizations, see Category:Terrorism and List of terrorist organizations.
There exist many different definitions of terrorism, but the article terrorism notes the following elements defining individuals on this list:
- Use of unlawful violence or the threat of unlawful violence.
- Targeting civilians.
- Non-state actor, thus excluding state terrorism.
- Absence of a state of war (specifically conventional warfare), thus excluding war crimes.
- Designed to coerce, frighten, or "send a message" to the public or a government, thus excluding organized crime performed for personal gain.
Individuals listed in this category have verifiably used or attempted to use terrorist tactics, by the above criteria. Self-identification as a "terrorist" is not required; see terrorism for a list of alternative terms, with both positive and negative connotations.
This category should only be placed on articles which already have verifiable text that the individual has been identified as a terrorist.
If there are no reliable sources which call the individual a terrorist, then this category is not appropriate.
