Semantically, it is politically motivated; an attempt to make the populace so afraid that they pressure the politicians to give in to the terrorists' demands (or to intimidate another political group and prevent them from making successful demands on the politicians).
But when the political motive is just "stop being different or allowing others to be different from us", it's both.
