Observation: why do they bomb in fours?
 

Just talking to Tanker about the attempted bombings in London today, and I got to thinking, last week they used 4 bombs In London :( , Sept 11 there were 4 planes :( , and I can't remember the details about Madrid :( .

Why fours? Is there any significance?

I know there have been other attacks (I'm thinking Abu Bakar that fuck) in Australia and Trinidad where they didn't bomb in fours.
Is four the number of terror?

i don't know if 4 in itself is a special number, but obviously the higher the amount of attackers, the greater chance for success.

perhaps they found 4 as a happy medium, not to many people to coordinate, not too few to decrease the likelyhood of a succesful strike?

The Spanish attach used thirteen bombs - but only 10 went off

Because they can't count to 5?
