So, they are obviously planning an attack for a lengthy period of time, and have many more IEDs and ammunition than they need for this one attack, so logically we can assume that more attacks or a larger attack was originally planned.

Assuming that there was a workplace argument, and the perps decided to make his co-workers his first target, does this preclude terrorism? Because he had an argument with someone?

If they changed the original unknown target to that of his co-workers, is it no longer terrorism? Or is it just workplace violence because they didn't get to pull off other acts of violence, as well?

In other words, since the perps were killed and couldn't commit any more acts of violence, can we just call it just another act of workplace violence? Would they have had the IED (that didn't explode) if they had not being planning terrorist attacks?

And does one really kill that many people over an argument whether or not Islam is a religion of peace?
