-- There is an ongoing fight whether these attacks should be labeled terror or not, we should observe Political Correctness here. --
"Minor" is inherently NPOV
[edit]I changed "three minor terrorist incidents" into "three terrorist incidents". Let the reader judge whether the incidents are to be considered minor or not. --Edcolins 07:15, May 3, 2005 (UTC)
Well, when someone says terrorist attacks, I automatically think of 9/11, Embassy bombings, and the like. This is just some guy with a homemade bomb who brought along his girlfriend and his sister. Maybe the reader should make up his mind on his own, or maybe it's our job to put things into perspective.
In any event, not a particularly impressive terrorist cell, at least not the Saturday incidents. Opening fire on a bus and not killing anyone? (I'm still unsure about the "3 injured" claim there -- some reports seem to indicate that's the two shooters plus one, and no report I've seen has identified any bystanders who were shot.) And jumping off a bridge with a bomb and not killing anyone? That's a very busy bus station: bomb or no bomb, the probabilities seem to say he should have killed one or two just by landing on them. But that's only the later incidents: it'd be disrespectful to refer to the Khan al-Khalili attack as "minor". –Hajor 20:05, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
