I doubt ordinary citizens would be allowed into such sensitive areas asa to collapse the settlement. At the very least they were Britanninan security forces. Otherwise they wouldn't have had guns.

I would have to agree actually. Lets look at it this way. Pearl Harbor was attacked, but it wasn't an act of Terrorism. It was pretty much an act of war. After all, it WAS a US military base that was attacked for strategic purposes. Compare that to... well, anything else that you consider terrorism these days. There are plenty. Most target civilians.
