The Devil’s Puzzle: Defining International and Domestic Terrorism

It’s becoming an all too familiar scene. A vehicle becomes a weapon of terror. This time in New York City, where a driver in a rental truck suddenly careened down a bike and pedestrian path on the west side of the city on Tuesday, killing at least eight and injuring more than ten people. New York officials say it was an act of terror, and although the alleged assailant is hospitalized after being shot by a policeman, little has been made public about the person’s identity or motives. But the incident is likely to reignite the debate on what constitutes domestic and international terrorism and whether it matters.
