Abstract
Various terrorist outfits or Actors Other Than States (AOTSs) are not
only functionally similar in their motivation/objectives but are also
driven by strategy which includes the means, ends or tactical and
operational manoeuvring. This makes terrorism an extension of
military strategy. The article views terrorism through a prism of
military tactics and strategy in the historical backdrop of various forms
of warfare. Drawing upon comparative analysis of the striking
similarities in leading strategies and tactics between military forces of
nation states, it argues that AOTSs make a conscious and significant
use of military strategy in the pursuit of terrorist objectives
