"How do they know so soon?"

I wonder about that too. It seems to me that terrorists like/want to be able to 'claim credit' for creating disaster and fear because it inspires other terrorists. It may be that the one thing that our government could do, in some cases, is to not let them have the 'credit' they want and thereby uninspire/discourage more terrorism.

And one result of that, once it becomes obvious to people that the government is lying, is that people attribute everything to terrorism.
