Definition: In this task, a passage will be given and the goal is to identify an event from the passage. An event is defined as a single word representing something that happened, is happening, or may happen. An event can be factual or hypothetical, positive or negative, certain or uncertain. While most events are based on verbs, an event can also be based on a noun (ex. storm, snow, rainfall) or a copula verb (is, was, been, etc.). The event must not be a pronoun or an adjective. For noun events with multiple words, use the last word in the phrase as event.
Input: Passage: Washington said the car bomb that killed Gibran Tueni highlighted the need to enforce UN demands that Syria stop interfering in Lebanon and cooperate in the probe of February's killing of former Lebanese premier Rafiq Hariri. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in a statement she was "outraged" by the assassination of Tueni, which she called "a vicious act of terror against a Lebanese patriot and a voice of freedom."
