The use of a timer is not a huge advancement of tech for the alan's snackbar brigade, but it is unusual that they seem short of willing martyrs. Assuming it's them and my money says it is (speculation of course...) Perhaps they are losing the ability to find dickheads willing to blow themselves up? Not on current evidence, this is the first attack in quite a while that wasn't a suicide attack.[1] The exception, of course, being North Ireland where there are still terrorist attacks involving bombs with either timers or other ways of being detonated that don't involve the death of the perpetrator. [1] In fact I can't think of an attack since 911 by Islamic fundamentalists in Europe/USA that wasn't a suicide attack. What about the printer bombs? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_planes_bomb_plot Good point, not subsequently attempted again and the perpetrator was taken out by a crise missile IIRC. Or perhaps not? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibra...ports_of_death Or, pre-911, there was the Hindawi attempted bombing that led to the subsequent additional airport questioning: https://www.asi-mag.com/ann-marie-mu...ersary-review/ That was very much before 911 but wasn't a suicide attack as such. The mule didn't know she was intended to be murdered. Yes, and that's why passengers subsequently were asked, "Were you given anything? And did you pack it yourself?" |
