An “act of war”? What other country was involved? “War” presumes 2 countries are fighting it out over something.

The trans-/multinational aspect of AQ terrorism is interesting; can it be used as an ersatz nationality in this calculation?

About as much as the varying countries of origin for European Crusaders (per Crusade) or European Explorers/Adventure-Traders in the 17thC+ — not really, but the shared aspects of ethos may say something.

Not sure if those nodules of ethos can be credibly targeted in a “war” though.
