Had you done a little research you would have found that the bomb charges were not added until April, 2015. As far as why, goes? You'd have to ask the FBI and I doubt they'll tell you.

My point was that they aren't white and aren't being called terrorists in one article. What relevance does the date or charges added have? The term "Terrorist" was still around way back in November 2014
They were initially charged with only technical weapons violations.... probably, and this is just a guess... because the FBI informant who sold them the bomb may have entrapped them or seemed to. It took quite a while to straighten that out.
I suppose you could ask the reporters and editors why they chose the words they did.
Also I was unable to find a follow up story to the April, 2015 piece. Probably plea-bargained out.
