Like I pointed out, I didn't count the Unabomber - some would claim he's better defined as a serial killer than terrorist. But certainly he could be considered both.
And yes, by the morbid "body count" foreign terrorists are way ahead - but not necessarily by intent: McVeigh, Rudolf and the Unabomber all intended to kill as many as possible, just like the foreign attackers. They were, as bad as this sounds, more small-scale in their thinking (i.e. they didn't go after a target as massive as the WTC).
