They are clearly more interested in money than their "cause". So more criminal than terrorist. |

Kidnapping, drug running and so on are very handy ways to fund political revolution. They are common across all the less developed regions of the world because such movements need a lot of cash. They retain large retinues of full time staff; need lots of expensive but disposable equipment; and tend to have reason to issue lots of bribes among other things. For that reason it's advisable to starve them of funds, but that would leave a fairly bleak outlook for any poor souls who falls into their hands. |

Yes many use the political cause as a way of getting special treatment if caught. |
