There were a lot of very nasty injuries on top of three dead. Plus, terrorists often do group bombings. One trick is to set off a small bomb then set off an even larger one when all the emergency services people, onlookers etc are standing around.
Well presumably they could have done that anyway if they wanted. This is not about people "standing around" the crime scene - this is no one going to work, the public transport shut down and everyone shut inside their house - 24 hours after the event. If a serial killer was on the loose, barely an eyelid would be batted. 10s of thousands of Americans are killed in gun crime every year - but it never causes the entire city to shut down.
What is the point of me saying this? Like I said, if the terrorist's objective was to cause mass hysteria and disrupt a major metropolis bigger than Sydney - then they succeeded. Imagine the number of would-be terrorists now wringing their hands at what happened here. All they need is to do this in half a dozen or so major cities at once, and it could bring the entire economy down - and cause mass panic across the country.

...my my Gandalf is very sensitive today isn't he ladies and gentlemen
he has pulled out the anti-Semitism card - the act of a desperate man that has not counter arguments
well done - You pedal your racist lies in here and hatred, and when youre exposed in public as a clown, you dribble at the mouth, panic and start accusing others or racism
the hypocrisy would be laughable if it were not so pathetically cowardly
Chimp, settle down, I've agreed with what you said about muslims. You just have a very inarticulate way of presenting your argument. Don't fight bigotry with bigotry. And don't try and be a bigger troll than Yadda or Herb. Be the better person and give them the attention they deserve - ie none. These trolls feed off your reaction.
