Almost. As far as I remember, they were trying to get a ransom from police.

Closest thing you have for that is:

" At the 2006 trial of Muhammad, Malvo testified that the aim of the killing spree was to kidnap children for the purpose of extorting money from the government and to "set up a camp to train children how to terrorize cities",[35] with the ultimate goal being to "shut things down" across the United States.[36]"

They never once actually attempted to ransom anyone. To my knowledge, they never kidnapped anyone, and thus never engaged in that. They were terrorists.

Not that "setting up terror camps by kidnapping children and teaching them to terror" isn't terrorism either.

Terrorism by definiton:
the use of violent acts to frighten the people in an area as a way of trying to achieve a political goal

What was their political motives?

No ransom was ever transmitted to the police.

Of course not, police wasn't asking for ransom - criminals were!

Wow. You really fail at using language.

Try again.
