Heh. In this case "Terry" is HM Forces pet name for "The Taliban" (compare "Jerry", "Ivan", "Johnny Frog" ... that sort of thing).
No idea where it came from (apart from aliteration, and possibly because they are *ahem* terry-rists) but the Firm seem to be using it pretty freely at the moment and it keeps cropping up in the media. Obviously US Forces are calling them something different.
