Note on terrorist factions and their interactions with governments

This paper studies interactions between governments and non-state terrorist organizations. A terrorist organization
consists of two factions, referred to herein as ``politicians'' and ``militants.'' Politicians negotiate with the government.
However, extremist militants reject the negotiation, and attempt attacks on the government. If politicians decide to take
action against the militants, it is probable that these attempts can be prevented. At a high cost, the government may
also take action against the militants, which also harms the politicians. It may be that politicians are better off where
militants are stronger.
