Terrorist attacks in London

scaeagles · 07-22-2005, 06:56 PM

Today there were blasts in Egypt. Four to seven car bombs. Several dead. Assuming it was done by terrorists, why Egypt? I suppose there could be anti-Egyptian terrorist groups, but if this is Al Qaida and their ilk, what possible gain is therre for them?

Egypt isn't friendly to terrorists, but they aren't pro-Isreal or supportive of our actions in Iraq.

I am a bit confounded by this.

Nowadays, anyone with a grudge is a potential terrorist. Suicide bombings are the internet age equivalent of a good old fashioned murder-suicide. And there's the appeal of having seventy virgins waiting for you in Paradise. Though, to be honest, a little virgin goes a long way and that many virgins seems excessive to me.

But we're talking for all eternity here, Sac. Heading into that first millenium that first virgin might be looking a bit.....unvirginlike.

Three hours in Paradise with me and that first virgin will look a bit...unvirginlike.
