Outcome

It is inaccurate, apart from morally outrageous, to include an “outcome” line and define it as “ETA victory” since it could create the false impression of a war situation with 2 sides instead of a terrorist band committing criminal actions. Terrorist do not achieve victories, they commit crimes.

Do the 9/11 attacks Wikipedia page includes a line that reads “Al-Qaeda victory”? 2600:1700:8D70:16E0:150F:7C44:3668:2E9 (talk) 23:56, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
