We can grant that it was not the primary intention of those who planned and authorized the attack on Damadola to kill innocent people. We can also accept that al-Zawahiri is undoubtedly a dangerous foe, still active in a terrorist movement, and that he is a legitimate military target.
我们可以同意，杀死无辜并不是那些规划以及下令在达马多拉袭击的人的根本意图。我们还可以接受这样的说法，也就是扎瓦赫里是一个危险的敌人，仍然活跃于恐怖主义运动，而且他是一个合法的军事目标。这一特定的袭击可能以这样的理由而站住脚。
