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.
