| I'd rate anti-abortionist bombers as terrorists, same for the IRA (rather than "the Irish in Belfast"). "Death Squads" is a term applied to government assasins in Latin America these would be the only ones in doubt. Terrorism usually does not involve stealth which is a prevailing tactic with Death Squads. Terrorists want you to know they did it, they call to claim responsibility for their heinous deeds. Ever heard of some "Death Squad" announcing their latest 'accomplishment'? The "Contras" were an armed group with US support who opposed the Marxist Sandinistas in Nicaragua, why would these be "terrorists", does foreign backing make the difference or was the moral conduct of the guerrilla by Contras so much worse than that of their enemy?
