Actually, terrorism is an act of violence that has the effect of causing
the populace in general or specific parts thereof to fear for their
safety.  Terrorism commonly takes the form of bombs being planted
somewhere public, or threats made of same, or similar acts taking place to
private individuals.  A fight for freedom that the government doesn't like
is called a rebelion, not terrorism.
