If it is something written since 9/11... Michael Moorcock's Firing the Cathedral would fit. It is a (fairly) recent Jerry Cornelius story, and can be found in the revised version of The Lives and Times of Jerry Cornelius.

Terrorism itself has cropped up in SF several times, including The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, by Heinlein, though that was more than 30 years before the events you're mentioning... will you be considering terrorism in sf from other periods, or only since the attacks?
