Bad:
Pakistani troops backed by missile-firing
helicopters on Monday struck a religious school purportedly being
used as an al Qaeda training center, killing 80 people in what
appeared to be the country’s deadliest-ever attack against
suspected militants.
The country’s top Islamic political
leader said American planes were used in the pre-dawn strike
against the school — known as a madrassa — and called for
nationwide protests Tuesday, claiming all those killed were
innocent students and teachers.
Good: Any attack on Western or Israeli establishments in which
innocent people are killed.
