Well the French Resistance used to blow up trains that had German supplies on board, these trains also has civilians on board, yet the Resistance went down in History as Freedom Fighters, had the Germans won the Second World War and were still in control of Europe the Resistance would still be around and be seen as Terrorists.
I will concede that there are sometimes civilian casualties during the course of battle — usually referred to euphemistically as “collateral damage.” But that is distinctly different from purposely seeking to kill civilians, as with the train bombings on March 11 in Madrid.
