Maybe i'm late on this, but the reason why it appeared this happened was the State Department's on-going redefinitions of what a terrorist attack is. The policy is difficult to define due to its subjective characteristics.
EDIT: I work in the DoS and i recieve these bulletins daily. Once of which stated how the definitions of terror and its nature are increasing, incorporating more aspects, therefore adding to more 'official' terrorist attacks.
