And even then, there were still a number of high-profile terrorist groups around the world connected to the Cold War/anti-colonialism. The Red Army Faction, the Japanese Red Army, various PLO factions, the IRA, etc. In the U.S. alone there a bunch of different groups (Weather Underground, Symbionese Liberation Army, Black Liberation Army, Puerto Rican nationalists etc.). There was also a lot of violent groups on the Right, but for whatever reason they didn't get labelled as terrorists as much and didn't seem to have the same kind of view of ideological solidarity. So the Sabra and Shatila massacre doesn't tend to get labelled a terrorist attack even though it dwarfed the actions of most of the above groups in brutality and death toll, and as far as I know there wasn't much solidarity between the Phalange and the KKK (even though they were both violent right-wing Christian groups).
