The daily post count has picked back up with this thread, 19 was a bit slow. I suspect things will remain active as we head into the winter months, this time of year has a lot of important dates, etc. I think that the inability of AQ/Talaban to disrupt or even mount a single attack on the Afganistan election day tells us volumes as to why it appears that things are slow. I suspect that the number of arrests of key AQ, plus Pakistani operations in the remote areas with Afganistan, plus targeted Israeli hits on terror leaders, plus agressive law enforcement in many countries world wide and plus the terrorist magnet/death bed called Fallujah are all combining to set the scum on their heels. I think that the behind the scenes war is taking its toll, thus forcing them to lay lower than normal. Thus the apparent calm.

I've actually been surprised at how things have been going in recent weeks in regards to 'chatter,'or lack thereof. Then I remember all the stuff we know about al Qaida and wonder if something sinister is just over the horizon. You are probably right, they are likely laying low in many regions right now.

Add this to the list of terrorist attacks as Eric Rudolph sits in jail with not enough evidence to take him to trial.
Six months after the Centennial Park attack, a bomb goes off outside an Atlanta abortion clinic, and a month after that one explodes at the Otherside lounge, an Atlanta "gay" bar. This, of course, leads Clinton's Department Of Justice to pin it all, including the Olympics a rather novel target for anti-abortion activists on the mystical right-winger, Eric Rudolph.
