Lone Wolf Terrorism

Lone wolf terrorism, also called lone actor terrorism, is a form of terrorism committed by an individual who both plans and carries out the act alone. The precise definition varies, and some versions of the term also include attacks directed by a larger organization or a small cell. Other names for the phenomenon include lone operator terrorism, freelance terrorism, and individual terror cells, and it is related to, but distinct from, the concept of leaderless resistance.
