countergang
n.— «This development came amid warnings that “a third force’” —neither the Palestinian Hamas or Islamic Jihad, nor the Lebanese Shi’ite group Hezbollah—could expand this conflict into a global one, by targeting other nations with terrorism. The British have mastered the deployment of such third forces—known in counterinsurgency parlance as “countergangs”—during their years of imperial rule.» —“Anglo-Saudi Manipulations Could Lead to World War” by Hussein Askary LaRouche Political Action Committee Jan. 12, 2009.
