Terrorism is the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political goals. The fact that someone blew up a bomb intentionally doesn't tell anything about their motives for doing so, so we cannot establish whether it was terrorism or not as of yet.
Well terrorism or not the stabbing seems to definitely be related to Islam. The bombing being similar to the Boston bombing makes me think it's a similar sort of motivation. Have to wait and see though.
That would make it terrorism. In its widest sense, terrorism is concerned with ideology and religion as well, in addition to politics.
