I will just make a quick comment, i really want to put the pre destination related replies together for the benefit of others.
However, death is certain pre destined by Allah, time, place, means, take for example the honey moon Israeli couple who were in Indonesia during Tsaunami. They went there because they had to die there, so are those tourists who were just holidaying. Allah Willed for them to die there, some of them even were destined to have the sea as grave.
But if someone decided to blow a place for example, the blowing part is his decision, Allah Knows about it certainly before hand, like if someone decides to commit suicide, let us discuss it this way. Suicide is haram. Period, we all know that, he/she decides to commit a haram act. His death time and manner is known certainly to Allah, even pre destined, but Allah Didnt tell him to commit haram. Can u see the difference.

Salam Dan,
Dude, I was totally being serious!
Great example! We're almost there. The one who dies is dead in accordance with Allah's (SWT) plan for him. Destiny. He wouldn't have died in that circumstance had it not been for the terrorist. Freewill. THEREFORE, was the whole incident set up by Allah (SWT) or the terrorist (despite his intentions)? Who willed it?
