The reason terrorists terrorize rather than militarily attack is that they're too weak to do otherwise.

Gorilla and urban warfare is infinitely more effective than just throwing massive numbers of troops at the enemy (the US army can attest to this from Vietnam, Afganistan and Iraq).
Small units like terrorist cells are more difficult to track and detect due to their small resource footprint. Half a dozen men can cripple entire armies, block supply lines and ruin morale on countless levels, destroying a fighting force's effectiveness.
