I'm looking at the name of this topic again... why is it called "terrorist" attack? Their aim was a British soldier, they hurt no one else

In case you missed it, the victim was not a civvy.

that's why that bit isn't underlined

Then it's not a terrorist attack if it's against non-civilians (by your description).

Why don't you tell us how you really feel?

Noun: The use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.
