has a substantial immigrant population
find it easier to operate by merging into it
what is the acronym that shows what puts facilities and buildings at greater risk
E D
V O
I N
L E
facilities and buildings at greater risk
E

facilities and buildings at greater risk
I
iconic- of symbolic value to the enemy e.g. pentagon
facilities and buildings at greater risk
L
legitimate-an acceptable target in the eyes of the enemys public

facilities and buildings at greater risk
O
occupied-to inflict as many casualties as possible
