Yep.

There was a show on NPR in Philly, talking about the #1 homicide rate in the nation... several people called in to talk about "urban terrorism." 230+ people have died via gun violence in the Philly ghetto since 2006 began, and if things continue, this will be the worst year for Philly gun violence in a long time (e.g. 400+ deaths by the end of the year).

Is "urban terrorism" a valid term? What do you guys think?
