Barbary corsairs
Organized maritime raiders and state‑linked privateers operating from North African ports (notably Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli, and Salé) from medieval times into the 19th century; engaged in ship capture, coastal raids, and the seizure of captives for slave markets and ransom, and in some Muslim sources framed as a form of naval jihad.
