Riegler (2010) defines terrorism as an act of violence, either psychological or physical, by an individual or a group that is aimed at gaining political power, enacting a political change, or drawing attention to a particular cause. This definition leaves the application open, suggesting that any group, including the government, can be engaged in terrorism.
