But capturing and trying violent leaders is probably a better marker of the end of such organizations –&nbsp;the chances of such an outcome being higher when such leaders recant their views and call on their followers to lay down their arms. Abimael Guzmán, the leader of the Maoist Shining Path in Peru, and Abdullah Ocalan, the leader of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in Turkey, are notable examples of this.
但逮捕并审判暴力领袖也许是宣告组织终结的更好的方式——如果该领导人宣布放弃自己的信仰并号召追随者放下武器，恐怖组织瓦解的可能性就会增大。这方面的著名事例有秘鲁的毛派光辉道路领袖阿维马埃尔·古斯曼和土耳其库尔德工人党领袖阿卜杜拉•奥贾兰。
