We know this to be fact. Every target that was not successfully hit always gets attacked again later. Often by another, completely different, group (some other dandelion from some other lawn) who also claims to be Al Qaeda. More attacks will be attempted. As, as usual, when security is considered by top management, terrorism fails.
The USS Cole is a classic example of how to not even do security in a secure port. Yemen was not even considered secure. But top management made no effort to protect the Cole - as they also did not protect The Sullivans previously.
For example, LAX was targeted when Clinton read his PDB, empowered federal agents to do their job and stopped the bomb. An LAX attack will be attempted again. The Eiffel Tower was targeted. But religious extremists never learned how to fly. An attempt on it will be attempted. This trend based in history.
And none of it should result in the hype and fear so promoted to keep George Jr’s popularity higher. It is simply an international law enforcement problem performed in conjunction with international intelligence. It means top government leaders must read and understand their PDBs.
