As someone said earlier about it being a random attack - somehow if it is Al Q then its hardly random and probably would have been planned for a while </div></BLOCKQUOTE> By 'random' I meant that there had not been any particular cause or choice of date. There was certainly some kind of planning, although I don't think that suicide attacks are hard to plan and execute. But what if New York won the Olympics then? And what tells you that there wouldn't be any other attacks of this kind exactly because of the Olympics? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
