'Human Factor' Proves Key Obstacle To Terrorism
In the past year, there have been a handful of high-profile terrorist attacks that have failed for a fairly straightforward reason: human error.
Whether it was this month's suicide bombing attempt in Sweden or the attempted car bombing in New York's Times Square in May, terrorism plots that could have been devastating ended up as largely harmless because plotters bungled their roles.
Consider the details of the incident earlier this month in Stockholm. The man behind it was a 28-year-old Iraqi-born Swede named Taimour Abdulwahab. While police are still tracing the explosives used in the attack and trying to find any accomplices who might have been involved, what they do know is that the attack went horribly wrong.
