International terrorist Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, better known as "Carlos the Jackal,"

Maybe I am being too picky, but is this not a misuse of the word 'terrorist'?

Yes, I know he is a murderer, but there is a difference between being a gun-for-hire, one who goes after one specific target, versus people who randomly and knowingly try to kill as many people as possible.

Just seems like a poor choice of words.
