I think it's "someone threatening or using violence in an attempt to intimidate or coerce the opponents of a particular political agenda[1] into complying with their desired goals. NB: does not apply to accepted political agendas."
Well, yes. Technically (although there's no agreed definition) it's anyone who uses terror to try and get their way.
But actual military forces tend not to be labelled terrorists, it's mostly paramilitary groups. And the ones we _do_ like of those are called "freedom fighters" instead.
