As I said, I wasn't applying the idea of landless combatants to OBL. His group is interested in its own idea of regional liberation- sans borders- and by that I think they merely want all Western influences out of the "East" as they define it. So OBL (imo) doesn't fit any regular mold for either terrorists or "state anchored" combatants.

But I think I now understand what you were saying regarding non-state actors. Thanks
