I'm a proud America hater, but this is more of a European tradition. Terrorism charges in America (all state-level or local; no federal terrorism charge exists) only exist as addons to other crimes, so this isn't something that could've happened there.

“We have not been charged with, nor convicted of, any terrorism offence,” said Malik. “At no point during our trial did the prosecution seek to pursue anything to do with terrorism, and the jury were kept completely in the dark and were not told that if convicted, we could be sentenced as terrorists.”

It seems like this an add- on too.
