          If it's intentional, it's terrorism. Regardless of where the perpetrator(s) is from.

          because terrorism is to cause terror (see IRA), they don't know the reasons behind this yet.

          so what makes something like 9/11 terrorism and not just about causing damage?

          because that was a long on going thing that dated decades before the event, with many smaller attacks.

          we suspect greatly this should be an inside work. To blame somebody else.

          so if it's religious aims then it's not terrorism?🤔 Which is why they've said it's not terrorism?😳

          it's all ambiguous to be fair. Terror seems to down to the motive behind it. Bombs are still bombs though, whatever

          this BS pisses me off. 'Terrorist' isn't a synonym for Muslim or Islam. If the intent was to harm or terrorise, it's terrorism

          How does the placing of a bomb that has injured 29 NOT count as a de facto "terror link"?

          If it's a bomb in a pressure cooker, with a second similar device a block away, it's not merely murder.
