Why do terrorists target civilians? Letter Published in The National ,Uae on 15 May 13

I refer to the news article Car bombs kill 42 in Turkey (May 12). It is sad to see violence raging across this region.

Although it is not known who caused this carnage or why, it is natural to suspect Syria, as Turkey has indicated. In such incidents, most of the victims are innocent civilians. That is painful.
