    she is guilty of terrorism.

    The thing is, the case against her by the sounds of it, is so full of holes as to produce a reasonable doubt that she did it.

    This article would have done better focussing on the witch-hunt style hysteria raised by "terrorism" than questioning whether politically motivated arson counts as terrorism.
