Abstract
For several years now, democratic countries have been militarily engaged against armed groups that they define as terrorist. This is particularly true of the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Italy, present since September 11, 2001 in either Afghanistan or Iraq or both these theaters of operations abroad. It is also the case for Israel and India. Israel, confronted since the second Intifada with acts of terrorism that have caused some 1,000 civilian victims, is combating Palestinian armed groups in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. India, victim of terrorist attacks since the early 1990s, is conducting battle against armed militias in Indian Kashmir and Islamist groups based in Pakistan.
