In some townships across States and Regions, so-called PDF terrorists motivated by a radical ideology that views “anyone with differing views is an enemy” are conducting violent assaults and assassinations. Their targets are innocent civilians who do not support their terrorist acts.

This strategy is intended to instill fear among peaceable civilians and create a pervasive sense of dread within these communities.
