I Wonder Why?

We don't have any major terrorist attacks on New Year's Eve?

One would have thought it would be a very "attractive" time to do one. All those drunk people around the world massed together setting off fireworks.

More luck than judgement I'd suggest. I doubt it's that well planned.

Surprising isn't it? I was dreading hearing about something terrible. Maybe thwarted? What's the next possible date......some christian date or islamic perhaps?

It's too expected. The security forces are out in droves.
ISIS like to surprise people.

I agree with Floydy here.
Too much security on a big night like N.Y Eve.

That's it. Imagine their despicable tactic of mowing down people with lorries. It just wouldn't get close before the driver was shot.

I suspect an attack may have been planned for NYE but was stopped before it took place.
Perhaps if genuine this was one of them...

FOUR attacks did take place and four young men died in knife attacks across London - Police say the attacks are not linked.

Not terrorist attacks though, just the normal killings.
