  • Terror bombing is an emotive term used to describe aerial attacks made by a belligerent to demoralise an enemy. Use of the term to describe aerial attacks implies that the attacks are criminal attacks that fall outside the law of war, or if within the laws of war are nevertheless a moral crime. According to John Algeo in Fifty years among the new words its first recorded usage in a United States publication was in a Readers Digest article in June 1941, a finding confirmed by the Oxford English Dictionary. The aerial attacks described as terror bombing are often long range strategic bombing raids, although attacks against tactical targets which result in the deaths of civilians may also be described as such, or if the attacks involve fighters strafing they may be labeled "terror attacks."
  • Terroripommitus on ilmapommitusstrategia, jonka tarkoitus on tuhota siviilikohteita ja siviilejä. Tavoitteena on vihollisen taistelutahdon murtaminen ja sekasorron aiheuttaminen siviiliväestön keskuudessa.
  • Terrorbombning innebär att civila mål i städer terroriseras av bombningar för att sänka moralen och för att orsaka panik. Terrorbombningar har utförts med kanoner, raketer, fartygsartilleri och bombning från flygplan. Ojämförligt störst förödelse har orsakats av flygbombningarna under andra världskriget.
