.. "A planned and premeditated terrorist attack in Greece is not on the cards, I stake my head on that," said the 80-year-old Egyptian- born Badawi, who has been described in the British media as the unofficial leader of the country's moderate Muslims.

"Some terrorists would like to stage a high-profile action, but they understand that the international outcry would be great... and that they would lose all sympathy in the world," Badawi was quoted by the daily as saying. ..

1. If he is a so-called 'moderate'

then how the hell would he know? I thought al-Qaeda and 'moderates' had nothing in common...

2. I have given some thought about this ...

While security ramps up through the roof in Athens, making the Olympics and unbearable event, The best place to strike is somewhere else (where their guard is potentially down).

It doesn't matter where the attack occurs, because everyone will learn about it immediately, because they will glued to their TV's watching the olympics.

This is similiar in nature to the 3 bank robberies that occured when Kerry and AWOL were in the same town. The thiefs took advantage of increased security for the candidates, inorder to exploit the lack of security at the banks.
