If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it is a mallard

To paraphrase the old duck analogy...It if walks like a terrorist, talks like a terrorist and kills like a terrorist, it's a terrorist. Plain and simple.

Unfortunately, there' s too much of pussyfooting in the media with these killers. Of other strange phrases, a phrase often used in the Indian press to describe kashmiri terrorists funded by Pakistan are "Ultras" and in Pakistan, dead terrorists are called "shaheeds" or martrys.
