The Department of State remains concerned about the possibility of terrorist attacks against U.S. interests worldwide, including the Middle East. Both historical and recurring information suggests that al-Qa’ida and affiliated organizations continue to plan strikes against Western targets; these attacks may employ a wide variety of tactics to include assassination, kidnapping, hijacking, and bombing. On March 19, 2005, a suicide bomber detonated a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) at a theater in Doha regularly frequented by westerners; a citizen of the United Kingdom was killed, and several other individuals were injured.
Increased security at official facilities has led terrorists and their sympathizers to seek softer, less fortified targets; the March 2005 theater attack in Doha was one such example. Other locations of potential concern include any venue where U.S. citizens and other foreigners are known to congregate in large numbers such as public assemblies, sporting events, restaurants, residential areas, clubs, places of worship, schools, hotels, etc. The Government of Qatar occasionally provides security for such locations and events, but to varying degrees. In most instances, the Embassy cannot gauge the appropriateness of security for a given event prior to its commencement. The Embassy strongly encourages U.S. citizens to avoid large crowds and demonstrations whenever possible.
I know what you're trying to say..but on the same point this is exactly the type of exposure certain terrorist groups would love to attract
lol yeah cause thats what makes a city good for hosting the biggest sporting event in the world...luxury transportation for a select few
dumbass
yeah terrorism you little cunt
qatar's neighbors aren't exactly the friendliest people in the world and they've had problems with suicide bombers and other terrorist attacks
they've even paid money to al qaeda in the past in hopes of quelling attacks on their country
fuck you
cool picture..do you know what the numbers by each dot mean? Is it just a reference to a table with names/stats of the organizations?
Pretty crazy how extensive and complex a group like al qaeda is..not just a bunch of dudes in a cave
the numbers seem to be references/citing of somesort but i cant really follow any pattern...would be interesting to find out..the guy must have put in crazy amounts of hours and research into something like this
