if his claim is not denied now, I bet it will be. I am also pretty sure it is grounds for cancelling any policy he may hold.

guess it depends on the religious background of the person these days.

were the people terrified?

did the person target civilians?

was it premeditated?

Not quite:

Quote:
In Australia, what constitutes an act of terrorism is defined in Commonwealth legislation. The Criminal Code Act 1995 states that a terrorist act means an action or threat of action where the action causes certain defined forms of harm or interference and the action is done or the threat is made with the intention of advancing a political, religious or ideological cause.
