If a bomb blew up next to me in a grocery store, even if I wasn't injured, I'd consider myself "targeted" and that the people who exploded it were my enemy. Imagine that actually happening while you were at Safeway.


You were by definition not targeted. You are collateral damage.


You'd be mistaken. If you shoot an arrow at a bulls-eye and miss, it doesn't change that the bulls-eye was the target.
