Reminds me of the UniBomber

This story reminds me of the UniBomber cases...
CNN is reporting two low-order improvised explosive devices were detonated outside a Starbucks Coffee in Manhattan. There were no reports of injury and investigators are looking at similarities between this event and other bombings in NYC. Click here for the direct link to CNN.

Before we blow this off as another non-event, consider the possibility of such an attack. Soft target and explosive devices mean instant mass casualty event. Think about how someone could use this type of event to test or probe our response. Now consider the possibility of a coordinated multi-location attack...get the picture. Small events like this one should give us a glimpse of what we need to be prepared for in the future.

Take all explosive events seriously...IED and homemade...look for the clues and consider soft targets and responders as areas in need of pre-incident planning.
