After-work terrorism
As closing time terrorists colloquially be militant networks, small groups or individuals designated, the clandestine pursue strategies and act from a disguised as bourgeois living environment out. The term is used by the media, law enforcement agencies and, to some extent, by the organizations or their members themselves. In the absence of other names, this term has also established itself in the scientific field in recent decades.
The after-work terrorists do not operate underground , are not tightly organized and have a decentralized structure. The 1997 Federal Constitutional Protection Report described autonomous structures with terrorist approaches as “ after-work terrorists” who intervene militantly out of legality and practice “ guerrilla warfare” methods . Examples of this form of organization are the revolutionary cell groups consisting of different nationwide groups , the anti-imperialist cell consisting of only two people, or the militant group (mg) . So-called “fighting units” and “militants” also took part in the run-up to the RAFwho mostly pursued a regular job during the day, on their logistics, such as providing conspiratorial housing, money or weapons or spying on targets, but also smaller attacks. In this respect, according to Alexander Straßner , the RAF, contrary to its self-portrayal, was not actually an underground organization. Identification by law enforcement authorities was therefore usually difficult or impossible to implement.
The term is also used in a special report from 2004 by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution “Danger of an armed struggle by German right-wing extremists”.
