An excellent op-ed that indeed raises the question whether we need and should define this type of violence as terrorism. The risk of over reach should not be underestimated.

The Southport Killer Was Fixated on Extreme Violence. But Was it Terrorism? (Gift Article)
Axel Rudakubana, who killed three girls in a stabbing spree at a dance class, was obsessed with violence but had no known ideology. His case has led to calls for a rethink of counterterror strategy.

well this decision hardly comes as a surprise. Iraq has taken on the immense task of repatriating their citizens. SDF had already announced that Syrian nationals could on voluntary basis return home. In both cases, the support of int humanitarian NGOs are essential which may now be jeopardised.
