Clarification of Subject: I changed and expanded the descriptions in German and English (to this version), as the former were partly wrong, especially the German alternative terms were wrong. I changed the German "Staatsterror" to "Staatsterrorismus", as the first is more of a state-philosophical concept which was transferred to Stalin's and Hitler's way of dealing with "dissidents" in historical literature. The term 'state terrorism' as is the wikidata subject here is/was real and there are numerous proven cases. Typically, a hidden/top secret branch of a state intelligence agency, typically but not exclusively in a not-so-much-developped country, organizes a real act of terrorism with a number of civilian victims in its own state (always for some perverted political goals/purposes). Maybe the most proven and investigated examples for such state terrorism were the terror acts which the ultra secret, "white" Vlakplaas unit of the South African police force (dissolved after 1993) carried out in the late years of Apartheid in the 1980s against people of all colours of the skin.
