How would virtue ethics view terrorism? I don't doubt the terrorists were evil,

How would virtue ethics view terrorism? I don't doubt the terrorists were evil, but it seems hard to deny they possessed some of Aristotle's virtues (courageousness, for example). Don't we have to consider the consequences of their actions if we are to call their actions unethical? I'm sure the virtue-ethicists here have thought about the issue. What conclusions have you come to?
