Its all a matter of tactics.
The resistance fighter that engages the military forces occupying his country; uses geneva convention legal weapons; recognizes and respects red cross/red cresent; fights in identifiable and disiplined units and makes every reasonable attempt to avoid civilian casualties is a legitimate gurrella and should be accorded the respect / rights of one.
The terrorist who delibertly targets civilians to incite fear or just to kill those who he doesnt like; who kills local civilian leaders / teachers / judges just to create chaos and who uses geneva convention protected places to hide and launch attacks from; and who recklessly endangers civilian lives with the manner / location / weapons of his attacks is a murdering thug who has no rights in a civil society.

Well anyone there can be a true local resistance fighter, but it all depends on the method that they choose to employ to achieve their independence. The Chechen's know that that cannot compete with the Russians in conventional warfare and that they will not achieve their goals by staying in Grozny, so they spread out across the vast nation and commit acts of terrorism to get their point across. It's simple classical terror tactics, no one is safe until Chechnya is free and more than likely not even then.

None, all are crying "Allah akbar"
Killing a "resistance fighter" jsut brings another suicide "black widow" to russian cities. hereby the "freedom fighting" mingles with terrorism.
