Unconventional warfare

Unconventional warfare is warfare in a manner differing from that of conventional warfare; in many cases, such unconventional means have been deemed war crimes. Unconventional warfare involves assassination, biological weapons, chemical weapons, espionage, genocide, nuclear weapons, raiding, and terrorism. Prior to World War I, the use of military aircraft was often seen as unconventional, and criminal.
