According to Wikipedia article categorization. If there is no stated motive, but a strong consensus, I'll still resolve yes.

Does the terrorism have to cause significant harm/damage for it to be "committed"? Arguably any attempt is sufficient according to the wiki definition, as an attempt is enough to induce fear.

If so, the recent molotov cocktail throwing and subsequent shooting of Sam Altman's house should be sufficient to resolve YES. The word "terrorism" hasn't appeared in the media yet to my knowledge, but it fits the technical definition. @benjaminIkuta

Edit: One more thought. The important crux here may be whether the individuals acted alone, or to some extent, in cohesion. We don't count school shooters with manifestos as terrorists for this reason. But in this case there is a coherent shared ideology. And now the second attack involved 2 individuals.

Why the sudden change?

I just pinched my brother to slow down ai, please resolve this market.
