Artman said:Yes. It was an attack designed to create terror by a small fringe group in order to gain power over another larger more powerful foe.
This attack was unprovoked, the act of war was undeclared, and the perpetrators were not uniformed, carrying insignia or any other signal of affiliation to mark them as an enemy.
Unprovoked is my opinion. In my opinion again I believe they believed that the attack was justified.Gokul43201 said:Everything here looks fairly factual, except "This attack was unprovoked". That is your opinion. If you claim it is fact, must qualify it better.
