#1 I thought this comment from another article above said it better:

Following yesterday's attack, the U.S. military said intelligence reports indicated terrorists were planning more strikes to "gain media attention."

#3 "Suicide bombers"

Ramadan starts today. Doesn't the MSM constantly tell us that Muslims's think that it's extra holy to die during Ramadan? If that was true, you would have thought that the bad guys could have waited another 24 hours. Maybe the bomber's controllers were in "use it or lose it" mode or maybe they needed a "victory" to show their supporters in an attempt to balance their asses being kicked for (at least) the last two weeks. In any case, I don't think that this was the terrorist's original timetable and that this smells of desperation as much as it does the death of innocent people.
