>*International Competition: What Exactly is Terrorism?*
>
>The Federal Prosecution is after it. The Red-Green Coalition is trying
>to redefine it. The Federal Court has to evaluate it and our friends are
>to be charged because of it.
>
>The Phantom Called "Terrorism"
>
>The German criminal legislation paragraph 129a enables the prosecution
>of terrorist activity or membership in a terrorist organisation, but
>even the highest judges of Germany are not quite sure what terrorism
>actually is. The Federal Minister for Justice doesn't think that 9/11
>was terrorism, but everyone's scared of it. German criminal legislation,
>the UN and also the EU have no clear definition of the term "terrorism".
>We're now asking: What exactly is terrorism? Who is a terrorist? And
>what's a terrorist act?
>
>The Coalition for the Immediate End to the 129a Proceedings is searching
