Good one triple, it is in fact terrorism and anyone who supports any possible terrorist is a terrorist themselves. I say we go on full military control of all urban areas in order to control this mess.
 
Are we missing the point that this story is about guys who do this kind of mental masturbation day in and day out. THEY ARE IN PRISON! If they were busted for creating a feasable plan to break out first ... then, perhaps.

Translation from AFP:

DACCA - At least 100 bombs of low power exploded in a nearly simultaneous way Wednesday in several cities of Bangladesh, including 15 in the Dacca capital, according to the police force.

Exact same answers for the US invasion of iraq. In the past years terrorism has been redefined as a deliberate attack against civilian rather than military targets. It's rediculous to say that while the US is at war, an attack on a military facility is terrorism. It's not. It's the other side warring back.
 
A terrorist style attack on a military base is a war crime, not war. Imagine if we were setting up roadside bombs outside baghdad, would people call that legitimate?

Who frequents recruitment centers?

Where are these centers located?

Oh please, recruitment centers are a far more military target than a lot of buildings destroyed by US missiles in the early days of the war.

The US has this mentality that when they blow something up, it's war. When their enemies blow something up, it's terrorism. That's not the way the world works.

Thanks for not answering my question, and turning around asking me a question.

Not wasting my time.
 
OK, I'll answer it. Military recruitment centers are usually located in large cities and are frequented by military staff and civilians interested in joining the military. They are funded and staffed by military personel, and their purpose is to expand the power of the military.

It is when it's a recruitment office.

What tactical advantage does a recruitment office have, other than the fact that civilians go there to register for military service?

My understanding of the situation is that they were released at some point and re-arrested because of this plot, but I may have read it wrong.
