You'll have to define how you're using 'terrorist' in this case. Does it require motive to create panic, action that causes panic, and panic having ensued... or is any portion of the three that needs not apply?
Mind... this would be a subject of interest to me. How does it feel to you to watch the world around you explode into a frenzy? Perhaps that needs a thread topic in and of itself.
I don't know about terrorism, I've never been close to an act of terror; but I lived through the 1978 revolution in Iran which overthrew the Shah, and I can tell you a bit about what it is to see your world get torn apart in violence.
