Examples Of Political Terrorism

The second example is GAM or Gerakan Aceh Merdeka. This insurgent group also motivated by politics, they want to be independent and use Islam as their ideology. Not only that, Aceh wanted to be independent because they think there is a gap between the central authority and the local authority. The examples about the terror and insurgency case show that both terrorism and insurgency are considered political violence. They use violence to have a change in politics.
The similarity between terrorists and criminals is their target. They do not think about which one is combatant or which one is civilians. They do their action to anyone; they attack both combatant and civilians. The example about terrorist is the Bali bombing in 2002. According to

The victim is 8 years old girl named Angeline, 8 years old and the suspect is her step mother, Margriet. Margriet killed Angeline and buried her at the back of their house. Those three examples show that terrorists, insurgents and criminals often use violence in their acts.
The first difference between terrorist, insurgent, and criminal is their target. The target of terrorist is random; they attack both combatant and non-combatant or civilians. They attack people randomly because they do not have a specific target; they just want to terror the civilians and spread the feeling of fear and it is enough for them if people already fear. The example is the terrorists act in Bali in 2002, they do not see whether it is combatant or non-combatant, they attack both.
The target of insurgent is the combatant. Combatant is like police, or army that can fight in a war. Insurgents can see which one is combatant and which one is civilians. The example is the rebellion group named DI/TII, RMS (Republik Maluku Selatan), and GAM (Gerakan Aceh Merdeka). The target of criminals is anyone that fit to their purpose. They will not think whether it is combatant or non-combatant. The example is the Angeline murder case in Bali and the robbery in Pulomas, Jakarta. In the Angeline’s case, her step mother is upset to her, so she decided to kill Angeline. In the robbery case, the suspect or the criminal is need money, so they rob the house in Pulomas, and kill the

Terrorists operated individually or in a cell. The terrorist in Cicendo, Bandung in February 2017 does his act individually or known as ‘lone wolf’ and it is the modern terrorism. Actually the terrorist used to be in a cell, but then he does his act alone. Insurgents operated in a hierarchical group. They have a commander, officers, headquarters, etc. The structure is clear and it is the biggest compared to terrorist and criminal group. GAM or Gerakan Aceh Merdeka also have their structure, they have Wali Negara, Wakil Wali Negara, and Panglima.
Mostly criminals operated individually or in a very small group. Actually it depends to their needs, if it is possible to do it individually, they will. Criminal is the smallest group compared to terrorist and insurgent group. The example is the crime act in Surabaya in 2016. A criminal rob a bank alone and he can get 78 million rupiah. According to Kompas, police said that the criminal is already known about the employee in the bank very well, because he prepared 10 ropes to tie the employees, and there are exactly 10 employees in the
