They had homemade bombs. They had firearms. They had bags full of restraints. Their intent was to kidnap and kill the politicians and they almost succeeded if it wasn’t for the hero that killed the terrorist that was breaching the only door left between them and the politicians. You are disingenuous if for you this wasn’t a terrorist attack just because they didn’t succeed and only managed to kill some cops instead of some politicians.

How many functional "bombs" were deployed? How many people were shot (by trespassers)? How many abductions occurred?

Luckily they never got to their intended targets.

So a bungled incompetent terrorist attack isn't a terrorist attack?
