Anti-American terrorists today are attention whores, and not real terrorists
Take 9/11 for example: they attacked the US by taking out a financial center and trying to take out the Pentagon and White House.
Those are moves to grab attention, and only served to piss us off and resulted in their homes in Afghanistan and other places in the Middle East being blown up and/or getting them killed.
If they were truly trying to terrorize us they would do attacks in towns across the country. Not just grandstanding for media attention.
I won't mention specific ways, hi NSA!, but if you want an idea, look up the book Dead or Alive by Grant Blackwood with Tom Clancy's name on it.

No. They're still terrorists. 9/11 was designed as a ploy to entice a US invasion in a Muslim country. It's all apart of the wider "global jihad" movement, which al-Qaeda leads.

With their online magazine [i]Inspire[/i], al-Qaeda is actually pretty good at radicalizing individuals to take action under their ideology and guidance (and sometimes training, like Tamerlan Tsarnaev allegedly received in Dagestan). People are arrested all the time trying to either plot, coordinate, or execute terrorist attacks within the United States and it's not limited to one specific area. Looking at the Fort Hood shooting, the Boston Marathon bombings, the failed Times Square bombing, the failed Fort Dix plot, and the failed Bronx plot, we see that the plots vary in geographical location.
