It is reported that one tourist was killed and three were wounded in ___ attacks.(terrorist/terrorists')

fill in the blank and give the reason,thanks.
but the answer is "terrorist"...

这个问题以前就探讨过，名词作定语要用名词的单数形式，请见这个页面都说terrorist作定语：

terrorists',it is possessive case,indicates who did the action.

terrorists'，因为要翻译为恐怖分子的袭击，恐怖分子的，是代词，而且恐怖分子不可能是一个人，所以要用复数形式，但是已经加了s了，所以用代词形式的时候只需加一个撇就行了。
