New Al-Qaeda Threats

[Valleysboy1978]

The Irish, and English have had to deal with the IRA for 40+ years so they have much experience with terrorists. If there is anything to be learned from this, it is all about the shock factor.
The Omagh bombing is a perfect example. Instead of a simple bomb they use a nail bomb. What the bomb didn't kill, the 60mph nails did. Men, women and children alike.

Believe me, if they have the conviction you will not stop them. Just get on with life and don't let them get to you. That is why the IRA has now given up, not only did they realise that they changed nothing but they were also slowly losing support from their own countrymen. We need to identify who Al-Qaeda's supporters are. Once done we need to squeeze them where it hurts....financially. Imagine we threatened to stop purchasing oil from said country by developing the electric car. They'd wet themselves as they'd suddenly lose 90% of their exports!

As for LA and Melbourne. LA is a definite possibility as nothing on the Western coast has been hit as yet. Melbourne isn't likely as Sydney would be the better target for shock factor....especially the iconic opera house. Remember these attacks have not been about casualty rates. A bomb in a sport stadium would be more effective...these are about targeting monuments:
The Twin Towers
London Underground
Madrid station (which is almost as old as rail travel itself)
LA? - Hollywood or Beverly Hills?
Sydney? - Sydney Opera House or Sydney Bridge?
