Isn't one of the hallmarks of Al Qaeda that they don't use the same type of attack twice?

How many skyscrapers have been attacked by planes since 9/11? It's not like they've not had the chance, there have been masses of reports on how easy it was post-9/11 to gain access to a plane.

How many trains have been attacked with remote controlled bombs since Madrid? (I don't count the London bombings since even though AQ claimed responsibility at most they inspired the attack rather than instigate it).

If they were to change the wording to Al Qaeda inspired attacks then I'd have less trouble believing that article, but I have serious doubts that AQ would try the same types of attack twice.
