In my view Bob, a "freedom fighter" is more of a paramilitary figure. One
who might bomb but would hit a target with some military or strategic value.
These ***kers bombed non-combatants on the subway/bus. Their action was
intended to cause chaos and suffering among the populace.
Whatever their political goals are, their actions make them terrorists.
While the police may be calling them bombers (which they are/were also) the
Press will certainly not refrain from using the appropriate label.

The word 'terrorist' is very politically loaded, whereas 'bomber' is a
plain
statement of fact. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
The
police, and the respectable press, are unlikely to use a word like
'terrorist' because it could prejudice the outcome of any future trial of
the bombers (if any have survived) and their associates.
