Answer to Question 1

The word terrorist is often used interchangeably with the word guerilla, but the meanings of the terms are quite different. Guerilla comes from the Spanish term meaning little war, which developed out of the Spanish rebellion against French troops after Napoleon's 1808 invasion of the Iberian Peninsula. Terrorists have an urban focus. Operating in small bands, or cadres, of three to five members, they target the property or persons of their enemy, such as members of the ruling class.
However, terrorists may not have political ambitions, and their actions may be aimed at stifling or intimidating other groups who oppose their religious, social, or economic views. Guerillas, on the other hand, are armed military bands, typically located in rural areas, that attack military, police, and government officials in an effort to destabilize the existing government.
