In Mogadishu, Somalia, Sheik Yusuf Sheik Issa...was happy with the attacks in Uganda. "Uganda is one of our enemies. Whatever makes them cry, makes us happy. May Allah's anger be upon those who are against us," Sheik said.

Something I learned after six years of living in the Middle East is that they're not completely stupid. Don't know much there but they know BS from reality more than most of us do. They also know what counterproductive means. They were well aware of what happened to the IRA after they killed Lord Mountbatten.

What’s the Heritage number on foiled terrorist attacks in the U.S. since Sept. 11th, 2001? 28?

Actually soccer is technically football, but why bother with baseball? Only the US and Japan are interested in them.

The World Cup is the world's largest and most significant sporting event. Even if they targeted a major US event like the World series, that only has limited interest to tthe rest of the world. American interest in cricket would be on a similar level to everyone else's interest in baseball. For the terrorist who wants maximum exposure, better to target an event that interests 80% of the world.

This really didn’t have anything to do with the sport involved. It was just a gathering of innocent people...Islamists’ favorite target. They happened to be gathered to watch the World Cup, but they would’ve still done this if it had been a Christian church service or a music festival or anything else. Where there are many soft targets gathered, this is where the cowards of Islam strike.
