Criminal and Terrorists Use of Gun: A Definition

MJ Akbar, a reputed journalist of India, has raised a poinst against the BBC reporting methods. While doing so, he has defined the terms criminal, terrorist and use of gun by a criminal and terrorist. The wordings which has been taken by me as definition have appeared in an online news item of rediff news at the link http://www.rediff.com/news/2008/dec/14mumterror-mj-akbar-slams-bbc-for-biased-coverage-of-mumbai-terror-attack.htm.
I quote the following words of M J Akbar: "There is a clear distinction between gunmen and terrorists. Criminals use guns, and can be called gunmen; criminals use guns in the service of crime. Terrorists use guns and worse in the random killing of innocents in pursuit of a political agenda or personal agenda. The killers who came to Taj and Oberoi and the Chatrapati Shivaji railway station and a home where Jewish people lived, did not come to steal art, or railway property or money. They came with the declared purpose of murder and mayhem."

The lines have been taken out of context but I believe that it serve the purpose of the candidates for Civil Services at different level and stages of selection.
