Terror in Antiquity: 1st -14th Century AD The earliest known organization that exhibited aspects of a modern terrorist organization was the Zealots of Judea. Known to the Romans as sicarii, or dagger-men , they carried on an underground campaign of assassination of Roman occupation forces, as well as any Jews they felt had collaborated with the Romans. Their motive was an uncompromising belief that they could not remain faithful to the dictates of Judaism while living as Roman subjects. Eventually, the Zealot revolt became open, and they were finally besieged and committed mass suicide at the fortification of Masada. The Sons of Liberty were considered terrorists, certainly by the British. Some early Zionists groups committed terrorism against the British in Palestine. Reagan called the Mujahideen freedom fighters and said the Contras were the moral equivalents of our founding fathers. A lot of people would call those two groups terrorists. The carnage is indefensible, but the terms are relative. SD
