The reason why it would be a perfect target for terrorist is due to the following:
US President George W. Bush, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Britain's Queen Elizabeth and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder are expected to attend the ceremonies along with other world leaders.
And the location (France) is perfect, primarily due to its central location, proximity to the middle east, and a large population of Algerian muslims with extremist ties.
It is definitely going to be Al Queda's best shot. Think of it, the president of the US (perfect at killing terrorists), the president of Russia (ruthlessly effective at killing terrorists), the British Queen (Q. Elizabeth may be largely a figurehead, but imagine the impact if she was hit?), and the leaders of Germany and France (who, even though they have not supported our war in Iraq, have passed some anti-Islamic laws that would never pass in the US).
And all these people are together ...in one place.
The only good thing is the security is going to be amazing. Our secret service and FBI is going to be combing the place, the Ruskies will have their 10-foot tall guys prowling, MI6 will also be there .....and I am sure the Germans and the French will also send their guys (let me say the GS9 and the GIGN special services are not your stereotypical french and german dudes). However, even with all the security, the target must be exceedingly tempting for Al Queda!
Very good post spetznaz. The fact that all of these leaders in one place is what concerns me about this Summit meeting. It would be one helluva way for the terrorist thugs to throw each country into a tailspin at once.
