This is not terrorism.
Why?

True
Should have added it to the AZF thread
In the wake of Madrid I thought it a similar case
Sorry for a bad thread

Is this question open to all, or just Dunbar?

Terrorism is, according to O Neill, a tactic used by Insurgencies- it therefore is intended to have a political effect.
The AZF has thus far not released a political motive for any attacks, and has demanded money, not change or political capital like prisoners, in exchange for not attacking. Furthermore, my experience with Terrorism (I live in London) is that they attack first, and then make claims. I think you said something to the same effect on the Madrid thread.
This seems to me like criminals trying to hold a potentially scared nation hostage for cash.
Then again, NDD did suggest that it might be a nascent group looking for start-up funds.
Any good?
Thanks,
Solid

Good post Solid.
This person or persons would be considered a criminal. While all terrorists can be considered criminals not all criminals are considered terrorists.
It will be interesting to watch what happens with this situation and see if it does indeed become connected to terrorism.

Do you think that this might be a nascent insurgency, or that it's just a bunch of opportunists with their eyes set on money?
