"We can infer the middle-class (rather than prole) origins of most terrorist groups by their habit of leaving behind, after their outrages, communiqués rather than notes, or even messages." (Paul Fussell, Class, 1983)

I think these days they issue statements. Where does that put them class-wise?

The issuing of statements cuts across class boundaries, as it is done by politicians and corporate executives. I guess, this goes well with the undestanding that terrorists today picture themselves as actors in the area of international politics.
