You know what? Yes. Those actions were terrorist attacks.

Again, the problem some are having here is that the meaning of the word terrorist has been so bruised and beaten that to label these as terrorist actions suggests that those doing the labelling must fall into the same old tired "good vs. evil", "with us or against us" binary oppositions that control the terrorist discourse at present.

I refuse to look at it as black and white. There is always more to it than that.

The OP verges on (but stays just shy of) being a troll.
