You’re correct, but states usually have a monopoly on violence, and state sanctioned terrorism is rarely called such. If you’re using violence and fear to achieve a political goal, that’s terrorism. Every state employs it to some extent. (Usually not this obviously though.)
Still a terrorist attack, if you ask me. The terrorists just happen to be state sponsored.

As most are.
