Actually, I think Scrumple is right, earlier in the thread, in comparing this to massacres in out of the way places, which barely get reported.

"Massacre in a mall" will get the attention of the western media, which is the real intent of terrorist groups.

Very true ... but terrorists also massacre lots of people just to terrorise the local populace. Just look at what's happening with Boko Haram in Nigeria.

True - I think the Islamic terrorist groups are somewhat more concerned about international coverage than local groups that have no agenda outside their own territory...

I don't think so. I don't think the terror cells give much of a shit about international coverage to tell you the truth. I think they genuinely believe they are fighting a Global Jihad. They don't want converts they want a killscore Allah will be proud of them for. Jungle or Mall, distant villages or 4 star hotels, I don't see them giving a fuck about media attention or hearts and minds. They are a scourge, but also a consequence.

Another day, another massacre

Pakistan church blast 'kills 40'

A bomb blast outside a church in the Pakistani city of Peshawar kills at least 40 people and injured more than 40, medics say.

A bomb disposal officer said two suicide bombers blew themselves up outside the church when people were coming out after Sunday Mass.

The victims were said to include women and children.

Islamist militants have been blamed for previous such attacks on Pakistan's Christian minority.

Christians make up about 1.6% of Pakistan's mainly Muslim population.

No-one has admitted carrying out the attack.

You've got to wonder at the religious fervour that makes people want to blow themselves to kingdom come, so as to kill as many others as possible.

Evolution. They haven't adapted to the force of the blast. They need to keep trying. Someone should provide them a safe area to minimise harm to bystanders.

[Tyrannical]

Their scientists should get to work on it.

If they're not targeting christians, they seem happy to target shi-ites with equal gusto...
