My answers
Q1) "an implication" refers to or restate "there won't appease the terrorists".
Q2) I think A and B are all grammatically correct, because I have come across some sentences in which "being an implication that" and "an implication being" are used as in " the way an individual approaches problems, an implication being that intelligent behaviour requires an individual to be motivated"
Q3) "implying" refers to or restate "there won't appease the terrorists" in the same way as "an implication"
