I’m not going to justify it —not 0.001%— but one tactical thing not really covered by the US press is that the very first attack came at Police HQ, where they killed MANY cops.
They knew sooner or later they would have to battle the cops, so they chose sooner —much sooner. The objective in this was to kill so many cops that they would be shocked an frightened.
Something they succeeded in, unfortunately.
that makes sense. I'm still scratching my head over numbers. Is it true that there were only TEN terrorists??
In the US, the police would have been furious avengers.
