It just seems like a horrible thing to do.

Your incorrect, the IRA planted many many bombs without giving any prior warning.
One of the biggest bombs the IRA planted was in a place called Omagh in Northern Ireland. They called the police and told them the bomb was at the side of the town that everyone was in.
So in a mad panic the police told everyone to get to the other side of the town, only thing was the IRA had planted the bomb at the side of town that everyone was running to in a panic

At what point did it become acceptable to randomly target innocent cilvilians?

The answer is ALWAYS, always has and always will.
CIA, MI5, Mossad etc have ALL used acts of terrorism in the past to acheive THEIR GOALS.
Terrorism is just a word, its a buzz word these days.
