I kind of thought the terrorists had gotten away from the whole taking hostages in a barricade situation kind of deal? I hadn't heard of anyone doing that in a long time.
Wouldn't they have figured by now that with all the high speed hostage rescue teams out there it was a no-win sitation?
The question is, does this show despiration on their part or a tendancy to be continually trying new things?
I have heard both. Fox had some guy on who said that the terrorists have given up on hiding the west targets cause they are so well defended and feel that they must hit something to keep their momentum and are going for soft targets in muslim countries. Course that is causing a backlash, so he thought that we are close to the end of attacks.
