The IRA also phoned about many of their bombs. The Omagh bombing is mostly notable because their phone-call didn't accurately identify where the bomb would detonate, and so got people killed.

Plenty of terrorist groups have recognized that killing innocent bystanders isn't good PR.

Attacking the enemy and avoiding collateral damage is usually called making war.
