Terrorism? or Freedom Fighter? - Megan Lemley

 According to BBC, there was a bombing on a religious school in Afghanistan that killed at least 10. Afghanistan has had to grapple with ISIS-K, or "a group known as Islamic State - Khorasan Province" in recent years, and although the government wants to blame the group for this attack, they have yet to formally claim responsibility. When we discussed the tell tale signs of a terrorist, we came to the conclusion that there are rules of war that everyone must follow like targeting civilians. In this case, the group responsible targeted children. So therefore, I think it's fair to categorize this event as a terrorist attack, and I truly hope that the Afghan government will find those responsible and hold them accountable.
