No. The bombing is immoral. Regardless of your goal, the act is not changed. It may be necessary in order to accomplish what you intend, but to say it's moral is not logical.
That is incorrect. Given that the good you seek to do can be greater than the unwanted evil you accomplish, the act itself remains moral.
As an extreme example to demonstrate the rule, if a terrorist utilizes 10 human shields to protect a nuclear bomb in New York City, it is better to risk (or even take) the lives of those 10 human shields than it is to allow the bomb to detonate.
