The public prosecutor has ruled out terrorism.

Pardon my French, but WHAT THE HELL IS IT if not terrorism? Crime that instills fear in people is not terror? An attack that kills 5 innocent civilians with a political agenda? What the hell do they mean? Just because al Zawahiri doesn't issue a video claiming responsibility? Bull-sht. It's terror.

The authorities assured us that the Tampa teen kamikaze pilot was not engaging in terrorism either yet his suicide note begins “the terrorist acts I am about to...”. I don’t care that the word terrorist was crossed out. He wrote it.

Since we know that the authorities WILL knowingly lie (recall too the DC sniper duo), their denials cannot be taken as fact.

Duh, a "man made disaster"...just ask the 0ne.

My sentiments exactly. There is nothing else to call it. An attack on a head of state? That’s terror if I ever saw it.

IMHO - terrorism = politically motivated. I'd categorize this as running amok, suicide (attempt) by royal bus, or the like...guy lost his job and was about to lose his home...went "postal". Sheesh..next thing you know jaywalking will be termed "a terrorist act" (after all, some motorists may be inconvenienced...).
