I have often wondered why terrorists don’t go after more soft targets in the US. If there was a string of bombings at malls, high school sporting events, day care centers, busy street corners, etc., it would tie this country into knots.
I've wondered the same. If Al Qaeda is so organized, why haven't they inititated coordinated bomb attacks on the 10,000 gallon propane storage tanks that dot the countryside in just about Everytown, USA?
Or even simpler, a hunting rifle round into the transformers in a dozen electrical transfer stations would bring the grid down on a huge geographical area with no short term solution.
Either of these coordinated by throw away cell phones to happen at a specific time would cause untold mayhem.
Either our perceived enemies aren't that clever or don't have the infrastructure or means to pull it off.
