Abstract
Terrorism can be divided in several types among which two have always prevailed: state terrorism and dissident terrorism. The first one also called as ?terror from above' or ?state-sponsored terrorism' is the political violence used by the state. It is the most organized and potentially the most far-reaching application of terrorist violence. The military force can be used as ?agents of state violence in the process of invading a foreign country and engaging in killing the enemy. The wars in the 20th century are examples of the tremendous levels of state violence'.
