just an aside here ...

the sociologist Weber defined a "state" as that entity which had a monopoly on the sanctioned use of violence within 
its boundaries.

so to that deifnition we might have to add -

"by any non-state entity." 

Since when a state does it it is not terrorism, we have come to refer to "state terrorism" to re-make the point.
