Tunisia museum attack kills at least 19; three gunmen sought


There was a terrorist attack a museum in Tunisia where 17 tourists were killed. Security forces managed to kill 2 of the attackers. The North African Prime minister calls the attack "cowardly" and that it "mainly targeted the economy of Tunisia."

Do you think the terrorists will be offended by the Prime Minister calling it a "cowardly" attack and will make them want to strike again?

I think that there will be open hostility towards the prime minister, and it is possible for them to strike him again.

calling it cowardly is just going to piss them off into striking again

Calling them cowards would just insult them and they will do the same thing but probably even worse.

It wasn't a smart thing to say publicly because this could just spark another attack. He should have been thinking of the future and effects that could happen from his comment.

It wasn't the smartest thing to do, but in a way they have to say something to try to intimidate them.

Calling someone a coward has never helped in a situation and may just anger them enough to do something else. I think terrorists will definitely get offended.

I think that the Prime Minister had the right to say this because of what the terrorists had done to their country. I don't think that we should live in fear of the what terrorists might do if we say how we feel about their actions.

I think the Prime Minister shouldn't have made such comments but I don't really think the comments will actually change anything. Terrorists are used to their attacks being labeled cowardly and they just respond by planning another attack.

Calling them cowardly will just instigate them to strike back and more violently. The Prime Minister did not handle this matter appropriately.

I do not think they will be offended at all. I assume they are happy with the overall success of the attack. Such a comment, will not anger them.
