Sondheim aside, assassination is a _political_ murder, so the Po-210 killing by FSB was both murder and assassination.
But yes, ^terrorism^ *should* be understood as a form of psychological warfare with collateral damage (including murder) and not used for every act of disagreeable political speech and attacks on legitimate targets, and your distinction of murder vs terror is solid 👍 .
