TERROR In Helsinki

Everytime you see a reaction of "let's find out the resaon for it", instead of "let's destroy it", a new killer sees an opening.

I wonder how many innocents must die before terror becomes the true enemy, instead of the continous "US is evil" crap that so many love to say.

This has nothing to do with politics/religion-inspired terrorism. This was the Finnish equivalent of a US citizen walking into McDonalds with an assault rifle, starting to kill random people while waiting for the police to arrive and gun him down. So please don't mix unrelated events with each other to support your opinions.

EXACTLY, I don't see why you people are treating this as an case of international terrorism! This was a tragedy but this has nothing to do with religion! The man was mentally ill and Finnish himself! So please stop talking about something that has nothing to do with the topic in question

Black September had a signifcant public support in the Arab world due to their attack of the 1972 Munich Olpymic Village attack, which killed 14 Israelis after they raided the village. The German Police sniper missed the shot and caused Auto-fire to be fired into the hostages, killing the lot of them before the terrorists fled the scene.

In retaliation for this attack Israel sent Mossad agents in pursuit of anyone who was even remotely involved in the inicdent - when our troops tracked down each and every one of them and introduced them to a hot kiss of lead, the organization scattered out of fear of further retaliation.

And this approach stopped Arab terrorism directed at Israel did it? Wiping out one particular group while inspiring many others to take up the cause under slightly different names is not a victory in my book.

I think you've successfully made my point for me.....

There has been only One attack targeted against Israel in the international arena by a fantical Islamic group that I know of since Mubnich 1972, and that was the match that lit the powder keg of Lebanon 1982.

Definetly not something what comes to mind from the word "terror"...
A teenager blew himself up for a desperate try to achieve attention.
I would say that this is equivalent (sp ) to the school-shootings in US during last millenia.

There is a huge generation of teenagers which never gained any attention from their parents
which we're living with their work. As a result, youths are now suicidical maniac's
running along with their angsts. What do the politicians do about it? Well, here they are
starting to blame the internet from this mess. Should have guessed instantly.

You know this for fact, or are you saying it to promote your opinion?

See, that door swings both way.

I've been following the Finnish news closely ever since it happened, so I dare to say I'm rather well-informed.

The current stand of the investigations states that it was an ethnic teenage Finn who studied chemistry. He was a 'loner', and an internet alias that had a serious affection in bomb-designing and explosions has been llinked with him.

As he was a loner, his motives are still open for speculations. However, suicide seems to be the most likely motive. An accident (that he was just carrying the bomb without intention to detonate) is a possibility. Suspicions about terrorist organisations are completely dropped.

Indeed it does. However, I try to be sure about what I post if I make ultimate statements.

With varying degrees of success, admittedly.

Fair enough.

I read the link that shows his interest in explosives, quite interesting.
