The FBI doesn't have a monopoly on the English langauge. Furthermore, the FBI seems to have problem with "terrorism" charges and so mostly does "terrorism-related" ones. It seems like they might have a few problems with their operational definition.

Why not? For a lot of people the worst-case terrorist scenario is being bombed by a foreign country with nuclear weapons that threatens to bomb them back into the stone age and basically wipe them off the face of the map. That's a rather terrifying prospect coming from a party that can do just that.
