Individuals listed in this category have verifiably used or attempted to use terrorist tactics, by the above criteria. Self-identification as a "terrorist" is not required; see terrorism for a list of alternative terms, with both positive and negative connotations.

This category should only be placed on articles which already have verifiable text that the individual has been identified as a terrorist.

If there are no reliable sources which call the individual a terrorist, then this category is not appropriate.
