Fascinating, I've never seen that definition. Looks like some departments use different definitions. So it may come down to who makes the designation when an incident occurs. Wonder who that is -- LLE, FBI, AG?.

The State Department's:

(2) the term "terrorism" means premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against non-combatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents ... 22 USC. 2656f(d)

Official definition of terrorism:
Official United States Government Definition of Terrorism

"[An] act of terrorism, means any activity that (A) involves a violent act or an act dangerous to human life that is a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or any State, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or of any State; and (B) appears to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by assassination or kidnapping."

(United States Code Congressional and Administrative News, 98th Congress, Second Session, 1984, Oct. 19, volume 2; par. 3077, 98 STAT. 2707 [West Publishing Co., 1984])

...now why is it that the attempted assassination of republican congressmen doesn't fall into this category?
