The Islamic terrorists have already attempted twice to blow up a train track, but in both occasions they were surprised by Spanish passersby.

The first time they tried to blow up the Madrid-Seville line. Then last Saturday, they tried to blow up the Madrid-Lerida line.

Furthermore, the terrorists who killed themselves when surrounded by police in Leganes last Saturday had a big mall as the next target. The terrorists had detailed maps of Parquesur Mall, half a mile away from the terrorists' apartment.

Btw, Parquesur Mall is a large complex; in addition to 200 stores, includes a multiplex movie theater (2000 capacity), a night club and a hotel.

I suspect al-Qaida is also planning attacks in a large mall somewhere in the US. No need to train pilots, just a few suicide bombers with nasty substances.

I hope our mall security is up to the task.

No need even to attack a large mall. There are plenty of targets of opportunity. Malls, supermarkets, churches, movie theaters, schools. Only citizen vigilance can prevent such attacks.

Al Qaeda prefers hard targets of high symbolic value, but they have already shown that they will turn to soft targets if necessary.

I hope our mall security is up to the task.
