It is not rational to warn. If the desire is maximum impact then you need maximum casualties were I a terrorist seeking to influence public opinion with a pile of body bags sufficient to reach there strategic defence threshold then I would not provide warning. No one would.
The US Airforce didn't radio Nagasaki and Hiroshima before bombing them. The RAF didn't get Dresden and Berlin on the phone first. Hitler didn't ring up Stalin to warn him about Operation Barbarossa. Alot of terrors impact comes from surprise - warning people erodes this.
Mmmmm the sickly taste of nationalism laces your posts, do you have a bumper sticker that reads: Australia: Fuck Off, we're Full. Or maybe an Australian flag with the caption love it or leave? To paraphrase Rene Descartes I am no fan of much of what Zahid says however I believe he has a right to say it.
