"We can infer the middle-class (rather than prole) origins of most terrorist groups by their habit of leaving behind, after their outrages, communiqués rather than notes, or even messages." (Paul Fussell, Class, 1983)
The issuing of statements cuts across class boundaries, as it is done by politicians and corporate executives. I guess, this goes well with the undestanding that terrorists today picture themselves as actors in the area of international politics.
