Terrorism kind of requires a reason and that reason to be communicated to the people.

Does your book on terrorism also mandate that the reason be communicated instantly or within x number of hours?

Yes? Kind of loses effectiveness if you don't immediately claim it as if you weren't expecting it. Nobody's going to take you seriously if you wait a few weeks before going "Yeah, we did it.".

While I agree in part..

quote:

For several months after the 9/11 attacks, no one, nor any group, claimed responsibility for the attacks.

I was merely making the point that just because no one has claimed it, doesn't mean that this definitely was not an act of terrorism/that no one ever will claim responsibility.
