According to Merriam Webster.com, Ransom: a consideration paid or demanded for the release of someone or something from captivity. Maybe I was being a bit... What's the word? But never mind. I could also have asked when the "rebels" become "terrorists" and what that made "The Minute Men" shooting from behind the cover of trees etc.

Ransom refers to any kind of "pay this or we do this" situation. So threatening to bomb the factory, is in effect, the terrorists holding the building for ransom.

Actually, kidnapping for ransom is more of a gangster thing.
