Abstract

The following article has as its primary objective to explain and determine the model of Simbiotic Transversal Terrorism, which was created based on the actions and strategies of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) during the last few years. Its particular use of terrorist actions, have made it necessary to construct a specific concept, that takes into account every aspect of this particular fenomenon, so that we may have a better understanding of it. Therefore, the different spheres of action- intrastate as well as interstate- of the mentioned organization will be analyzed as well as their bonds with the many illegal organizations (national as well as international) and the support that they receive from certain governments that has contributed to the perpetuation of the armed con ict in Colombia.
