This article from the diplomat discusses the Communists China's use of hybrid warfare against the United States. http://thediplomat.com/2015/09/hybrid-warfare-with-chinese-characteristics/
The basic concept is to use all possible methods to attack your enemies. This would include cyber attacks as well economic warfare to undermine the enemies capability to resist. Using criminals and terrorists as proxy's to physically attack the enemy with no cost to the aggressor. Most importantly it has a large amount of psychological warfare to destroy the targets will to resist.
Communist China refers to this type of conflict as unrestricted warfare and two Colonels from the PLA wrote an extensive paper on it titled Unrestricted Warfare that mentions Osama Bin Ladin and the world trade center.
"whether it be intrusions of hackers, a major explosion at
the World Trade Center, or a bombing attack by bin Laden, all of these greatly exceed
the frequency bandwidth understood by the American military... This is because they have
never taken into consideration and have even refused to consider means that are contrary
to tradition and to select measures of operation other than military means"
