Literally, it is the strategy of (making things) worse. The idea is that the guerillas, who lack the military strength to beat their opponents in open battle, should concentrate instead on destroying the structures and services on which the population depends. Yes, that is a good definition. I don't think that originally, "destroying the structures and services" included blowing up large number of the people themselves, but Al Qaeda is wedded to the tactic of mass casualty attacks.
