The word "terrorist" was coined to describe someone who commits acts deliberately designed to evoke terror in the minds of normal people. In that sense, this is what these people are. They are also mass murderers. The BBC are so mealy-mouthed (God forbid we should upset anyone except those who have lost family and friends in this and other atrocities) that they shy away from the correct usage of some words.

As for "inflammatory" I think it is extremely inflammatory to cause the deaths of over 50 innocent people, and horrific injury to hundreds. Or is that not PC?
