You choose option 2 of Issue 151 - Build Bigger Bombs, Advise Scientists.

"Why stop with making weapons for ourselves?" asks @@random_name()@@, CEO of Wendy's Weapons stores. "We can sell them to all sorts of groups and organisations: other nations, the WA, terror- uh - freedom fighters, anyone! And we produce our own for our protection. Think of the money we can make! I'm sure none of our clients would ever even think of trying to use them to influence our government with threats or anything like that!"

The actual effect reads:

the nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations.

Which I don't like purely because it's a bit of a clumsy sentence... doesn't read well. But yes, your nation chose to supply groups that others may consider terrorist organizations - you're supplying them with weapons of mass destruction.
