    Terrorist-a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aim

    Hmmm… that DOES sound a bit familiar…

      Terrorism needs target to be an indefinite number of persons.

      If target is one particular person, this is regular crime.

      EDIT: or persons. Serial killers are serial killers, not terrorists.
