The venn diagrams for terrorist and assassination definitely overlap, and even more so with the loosened definition of terrorism these days. I may be wrong in assuming the politics of the attacker, but the event doesn't seem to be random - the mp was targeted at a scheduled event, so that ticks all the boxes in my mind - someone specifically targeted and murdered for political reasons was assassinated.
Have a link for the daily telegraph article in question? Or at least, some more detail?
