My problem with this article is calling this a terror attack. This was not terrorism, this was war. They acted as a military unit and attacked a military base. While I mourn for the family of the Marines killed in this attack,we are at war and this was a legitimate military target. Killing civilians and attacking embassies is terrorism.

Legitimate military target, yes. But a suicide bomber is a terroristic weapon. It relies on a breach of trust. As such, this is right on the borderline between terrorism and a military strike.
