Terrorism is apart of the motive used. In this case, and in many cases seen in the past few years, the only goal that can be seen is to cause fear or terror.
To explain this better, an act of terrorism is a crime , but a criminal act cannot necessarily be considered terrorism

Terrorism requires political motive. Mentally ill people may commit major crimes but don't have political motive. There was no proof at that time (there still may be no proof, I don't know the current status) that it was a terrorist attack.
