The obvious difference being the targets?

Good job, B-Line. You're partly right. They were going after military targets.
The other part of it is that they were uniform-wearing members of their country's military.
So to sum up:
Military v. miltary is not terrorism, so no "suicide bombing"
Civilian v. civilian = terrorism
