There are three main kinds of terrorism: domestic, nationalist, and religious terrorism. Domestic terrorism occurs within a country and is associated with extremist groups like the Shining Path in Peru. Nationalist terrorism promotes the interests of an ethnic or religious minority group that believes they have been prosecuted, like the IRA in Ireland. Religious terrorism believes violence is a sacred duty from God to enact fundamental change, exemplified by the Aum Supreme Truth attacks in Japan in 1995 seeking Shiva's approval.
