I dont entirely understand why they don't persue individual attacks, but I guess maybe its because they seem more intimidating when they're in groups.

Police briefing said something about a bomb blast blowing thru a wall, affecting 3 trains? If so, that's a powerful bomb.
My sympathies to all who have loved ones in the area, hoping for minimal casualties.

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

Come on... anarchists and anti-globalists are relatively harmless, they'd never do something like this, nor do they have the means to organize that.-->Visit CGN!

At the same time, the single individual might have a much harder time securing explosives. Of course, that does not deter some guy with a pipe bomb which doesn;t mean you need to get your hands on hard to get explosives.If you don't like reality, change it! me

Riots and bombings are two utterly separate things.

As I was stating, that was my initial impression- considering how important G8 is to anarchist/anti-globalist groups.
Frankly, I wouldn't expect militant islamists to disrupt a summit that had little to do with them and a lot to do with the good of the world, but apparently- they did.-->Visit CGN!

lotfm, to fight terrorism you need INFORMATION, no look for unatended bags in buses. If the terrorist has the bomb ready it is becuase security has already failed and it is TOO late.
For the terrorist the difficult and dangerous part is to remain unsuspected, to get the explosives and organice it all. It is in this phase when police can do something. Go out and plant the bombs is easy even for a child.Ich bin der Zorn Gottes. Wer sonst ist mit mir?

I have thought of that as well, since these sorts of systems would seem to be the best possible targets of all- a single bomb on a crowded underground tunnel would be higher than anywhere else, and you can cripple an entire metropolis with one attack.
My belief is that their assets IN the US, EU, etc are in fact scarce, and quite valuable. They are not going to use them on anything less than a headline grabbing attack, which means a coordinated multiple attack. Besides, with a single attack, a govt might get away with the Aznar strategy of denying its AQ."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin Buber

The only problem arises when people either
a: think they won't get caught.
or
b: don't care about getting caught.
If those two variables don't exist- then it's possible to stop terrorism before it begins. If those two variables exist, then it's impossible to stop terrorism by any conventional ways of deterrence.-->Visit CGN!

Both can be deadly.
Besides, NO ONE died in Seattle. IN fact, the ONLY death I can think of at one of those riots was when the Italian POLICE shot a protestor.
