So to me that makes him a terrorist, it doesn't matter if he actively planted bombs or not.
It would be similar to the IRA bomb makers and even the ISIS bomb makers who don't blow up the bombs themselves. They're a active member of a terrorist group.

Exactly this. No one has to prove what bombs were used where. If he built bombs for an organization that was using some of those bombs on civilians, then he's guilty. Groups like Al Queda tend to broadcast quite widely to their followers that they targeting civilians and are quick to take credit for such attacks. So I doubt he'd be very successful in arguing those bombs were for strictly military purposes.
If Al Queda has a pile of 10 bombs, you don't have to trace the use each particular bomb. Building any bomb for them is a crime.
