I’m in the US.
I haven’t discerned a pattern, by the media, in the titling of the horror currently underway.
I’ve seen Al Jazeera use both phrasings. I haven’t determined that other media sites are hardlining their terminology either, but I notice the difference as I browse.

Nah, that means they’re using terror as their politics. Republicans in the US are fucking idiots and no one sane likes their politics, yet I don’t see people calling them terrorists.
people do call them terrorists
