A man who carried out a suicide plane attack against the Internal Revenue Service in Texas last week has been described by his daughter as a hero for standing up to "the system".
However, Joe Stack's daughter, Samantha Bell, told ABC News that the attack which killed a government worker and injured 12 was "innapropriate and wrong".
"His last actions, the suicide, the catastrophe that caused injuries and death, that was wrong," Bell said.
"But if nobody comes out and speaks up on behalf of injustice, then nothing will ever be accomplished. But I do not agree with his last action with what he did. But I do agree about the government."
Before crashing a small airplane into IRS offices in Austin, Texas, last week, Stack posted a suicide note online that railed against the government, the IRS and taxes.
Ken Hunter, the son of Vernon Hunter, who was killed in the attack, attacked Bell for labeling her father a hero.
"How can you call someone a hero who after he burns down his house, gets into his plane ... and drives it into the building to kill people?" Hunter said on Good Morning America.
"My dad Vernon did two tours of duty in Vietnam. My dad's a hero."
