Experts fear attack is first of many (AFTERMATH OF BALI ALERT)

That's merely because they have no desire to die. They must realise by now that they are going to be hunted until they are all dead. And I do mean ALL of them.

And, in Indonesia, it will not be the U.S. they will have to worry about. That bombing hit Indonesia right where it hurts them : In the tourist money pocket book.

Indonesia will probably do a thorough house cleaning soon.

We ought to tell Al Qaeda - perpetuate one more outrage like this and we will nuke Mecca.

What the hell, let's do it anyway - just to see if we can blast the muzzies' "holy meteorite" back into space.

[skeeter]

JUST ON FOX NEWS. WOULD YOU BELIEVE AL QAEDA IS SAYING AMERICANS DID THE BOMBING!!! THEY ARE DENYING IT!!

Must've been some local Balanese 'whacko' who did the bombing.

According to the 'experts' commenting on the Maryland murders islamic terrorists always claim credit for their deeds.

Ah yes, the religion of peace has declared war on civilization. It will do the world well to acknowledge that.

What does "A" stand for?

Asshole.

[There are also fears that the sniper operating around Washington may have links with the campaign. The random attacks are the essence of "asymmetric" tactics - hitting a society where it is believed it is most vulnerable and least vigilant.]

This has been my suspicion from early on. Shooting the schoolboy convined me. And I had read that assinations and drive-by shootings were found listed in the documents retrieved from Afghanistan. Only terrorists have killed men, wome, AND children indiscriminently in the recent past (Israel, 9-11, Philipines).

Indonesia will probably do a thorough house cleaning soon.

We'll have to see. Like the Phillipines, Indonesia is a large, disorganized land mass (of islands) with a fairly unstable government. Not quite the anarchy that was Afganistan, but close. Al queda will be very difficult to defeat there.

I think one in many of a series.. it's all refective of time line... not many over the last year..t hen boom 3 in a week. At any rate I think we are starting to see exactly how good these guys are. Many wanted to write off Al-Qaeda in the first days. this goes to show Bin-Laden alive or dead the network still thrives. Furthurmore this could be a series that is being triggered to something big. Al-Qaeda loves deception. If they set up 5-6 bombs throughout the world and the world intellgence agencies playing catchup.. they have a better chance of getting the big attack through. I guarantee you.. the big one has already been planned.

Bump.

[patriciaruth]

the big one has already been planned.

Zawahiri is the one I fear the most. And probably he is still alive.

I hope the Homeland Security Department is prepared for simultaneous hits of bomb and cyber attack on the NYSE and suicide bombings at malls.

[Almondjoy]

Prepared? In which do you mean? The only prepration they better have is to stop the mass hysteria afterwards if that happens. No matter how secure we are we will never be protected from suicide bombs.. country is too free and open not to get the supplies here to make a bomb strap it to yourself and walk into any crowded place you want.
