Like I said, while the distinction may no longer apply, your Bath bombing would not qualify as "traditional" terrorism because it was conducted by a lone actor seeking revenge, and not a sponsored organization seeking to create havoc in order to further a political goal. Doesn't make the result any less catastrophic, though.

I did a search for "terrorism bath michigan" and came up with that Wiki article. I did know about that bombing previously. Usually, terrorism is an organized operation, but I don't think terrorism ever ruled out the lone nutcase.

The MSM will still refer to this (if at all) as the act of lone person, and not with the "T" word.
