    Why would they choose September 11th in particular? Because it reads as 911 in America? The only people who know why (or if) these dates matter are the perpetrators.

    Assuming this is actually an attack and not a prank, of course

    I think this is a stark reminder of the threat these nutjobs pose to the free world. We need to unite as people to destroy islamic extremists and save normal muslims from these nutjobs as well.

    What stark reminder? It's an empty box with a few wires and some powder. Hardly end of day's stuff.

    Are we not bombarded daily with potential threats, what exactly is so stark about this one? (which I'm sure will come to nowt).

    If that happened, you'd be forever dead, rather than grateful.

    Wouldn't a dummy run put everyone on alert and make it harder to pull off the real thing?

    Unless they're planning it for months in the future when people will have forgotten

    Again assuming it's real

    I'd be more worried about suspicious text messages from AIB.
    We're going to have to do a controlled explosion of the forum you moderate. :)

    These feckers are to blame.
    They're the last of those holding out from the holy books.

    The attack is actually being planned for Ireland because we invented Hallowe'en.
