One would have thought it would be a very "attractive" time to do one. All those drunk people around the world massed together setting off fireworks.
I don't know why that is. Even with all the security it would still be easy to carry out an attack. It wouldn't need to be a 'major attack' either to get the full media coverage.

I'm sure it doesn't but the question was why are there no terrorist attacks on new year's eve.

Hi

Yes, four people did die, in knife attacks.

Most knife attacks are gang related, scum on scum, they are not the murder of random individuals for political means.

UJ I don't understand the point you are making, when the OP was focused totally on Terrorist attacks.

It is sad when anyone is killed, but nor relevant to the point of this thread!

Clearly that isn't the case. The terrorists choose when and where to attack.

You're probably thinking of weather events like floods and the like.

People would be surprised alright. People could be gunned down like plastic targets at the fun fair and few would notice.

And it's not just in the capital cities that these events take place. So would be impossible to stop.
