Terrorism

[RICHARD ROMEO]

Been reading some Delillo crit that I got off the web, one article of 
which brought up a very interesting debate between those who believe 
there is a the relationship between the media and terrorists or 
terrorism.  In essence do terrorist groups need the media and 
consequently spot targets or plan with the idea that they will get 
maximum coverage like Munich '72 or the Mountbatten assassination (which 
backfired right?) or do they not  think about media coverage at all while 
planning their deeds (the recent crash over Long Island?--I know it 
received a hell of a lot of coverage but nobody claimed responsibility).  
Seems there are varying opinions...
