a terrorist is someone that is not a citizen of the USA who comments a really big crime. A criminal is a citizen of the USA that disobeys the laws and/or comments a crime.

A criminal could be anyone who breaks the law repeatedly.
A terroist's main goal is to put terror in people to gain their goals. Scare people into doing things they way they want them to do.
