so terrorism is any crime with a political motivation? then i guess the unabomber wasn't a terrorist. after all, he wanted to stop progress.
someone who assinates a political figure is not a terrorist. a terrorist is someone whose actions are supposed to cause terror in order to further their goals. that's not to say an assination couldn't fall under that, but you're really pushing it there.
