they want to get caught. the casualties are a means to an end. if you just kill a bunch of people without anyone noticing it, nothings been gained in terms of effective terrorizing.
terrorists want to be freddy krueger, not the rollercoaster from final destination.
Why not try to claim they made the malaysian air flight disappear?
I'm not sure, but it doesnt seem to be on their agenda.
Terrorist code of conduct. "Thou shall not claim casualties you didn't cause."
That's because if you are ever disproved, you lose credibility for future claims.
That's orthogonal to the merit of using such "mundane-looking" tactics and then rightfully claiming involvement.
duh?
remember what happened last time nobody took them seriously? a generation of conspiracy nutters was born.
I think that it's my fault, but I honestly don't know what you're referring to. 9/11? The Kennedy assassinations? In any case, how does not taking terrorists seriously create conspiracy theorists?
