Domestic terrorism
Terrorism committed in a country by its own natives or nationals, without support from abroad / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Domestic terrorism or homegrown terrorism is a form of terrorism in which victims "within a country are targeted by a perpetrator with the same citizenship" as the victims.[1] There are various different definitions of terrorism, with no universal agreement about it.[2][3]

Unlike domestic terrorism, state terrorism is that perpetrated by nation states, but is not considered such by the state conducting it, making legality a grey area.[4]
