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. I think the Barcelona cell might also have been planning timer bombs, but managed to blow themselves up while making them. Even suicidal jihadis might want to plant more than one bomb each. Still intend suicide to get their hands on all those virgins… Another post-911 train timer bombing was in Madrid: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004...train_bombings That is an exception. -- Graeme Wall This account not read. |
