In Holland we have this kind of terrorism craze lately. Some politicians received death threats, and everybody now thinks they are in danger, and that the people who wrote these threats are terrorists.....but why would a terrorist write a letter first??? It takes away the whole element of surprise.

The goal of terrorism is not to kill, it's to create terror, thus those letters are from terrorists simply because they created terror, they might or might not try to act upon their threats but that's irrelevent.
On topic: I'm still quite clueless about this, anyone found a good source for this story?
