No but a suicide bomber in Israel knocked off about 20 at a Sbarros last year including a 1 1/2 y.o. baby.
I thought they may have a bad sense of tradition and park the think next to the Sbarros and run for the hills.
Which reminds me if they weren't going to sit in the truck smoking their camels (pun intended) while the fuse burned, where was the getaway vehicle parked.
And since they have a proclivity for multiple targets per action, at least on 9-11, maybe there was a run on Ryder trucks in the area lately.

Van checked at mall for bombs, owner detained -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By JIM SABIN jsabin(at)limanews.com 419-993-2091 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LIMA - Federal and local authorities checked a van in the Lima Mall parking lot for explosives Wednesday night and detained the vehicle's owner, a man who works in the mall. The van's owner was allegedly linked to 10 people who were detained in Findlay with "visa irregularities" Wednesday morning, Allen County Sheriff Beck said. Some of those people worked in Lima, FBI Special Agent Thomas Bailey said Wednesday. Beck said the FBI requested a bomb-sniffing dog at the mall for an investigation shortly before 8 p.m. Wednesday. The dog indicated that a van in the parking lot had explosives, but the Lima Police Department's bomb squad found nothing, he said. Beck said it's not unusual for an explosives-seeking dog to pick out something that doesn't contain explosives. "There's a lot of things that could possibly make the explosive-trained dogs alert," he said. The van's owner was detained for visa problems and sent to the Cleveland office of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service for processing, Beck said. That agency and the FBI detained 10 others Wednesday morning in Findlay, which Beck said was related. FBI Special Agent Thomas Bailey said Wednesday that those 10 were detained, not arrested, for "visa irregularities." The 10 had paperwork indicating they entered the U.S. from Israel, he said. The man detained Wednesday night, who was not identified, may work at a mall kiosk, Beck said. The FBI would not discuss the case and said the 10 detained in Findlay worked in Findlay, Lima and Toledo, but would not say where. "I believe the person arrested was the owner of the van," Beck said. "It was a little sketchy because it was an FBI investigation." Lima Mall manager Keith Stewart said Wednesday that a mall kiosk did not open, but said he didn't know why. A woman in the Findlay Village Mall's management office Wednesday declined comment and hung up when asked if any stores failed to open. Mark Hansen, director of the Cleveland immigration office, said Wednesday he could not comment on a pending investigation. He did not return a call seeking comment Thursday. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © 2001 The Lima News
