What Would Osama Do?
If I was an Al Qaeda type I would look upon the upcoming Summer Olympic Games in Athens as a prime opportunity. A prime opportunity to strike...
...in London, Berlin, or maybe Paris. Think about it. Much of the world's (and especially much of Europe's) counter terrorism focus will be on Athens in the weeks leading up to to the Olympics, and during the Games. The Greeks have requested NATO assistance in providing security and you can bet that American, British, French, Italian, Spanish, and German (among many others) intelligence and police assets will be deployed to Greece as well.
And the summer season means more travel and more tourists in Europe. Large crowds for the terrorist fish to swim in. While the world's eyes may be on Greece in mid-August, Islamist eyes (and weapons) may be trained elsewhere.
