Sunday, 800 emergency workers conducted a drill simulating multiple explosions in the PATH train system under the site of World Trade Center. The drill highlighted the need for large cities to be prepared for terror attacks, particularly on large scale transportation systems.
Reuters and other mainstream media point out that the WTC has been attacked before, and other large scale attacks have taken place in London, Madrid and Mumbai. However, in articles in the NY Times, AP, and Reuters, there were no references to the connecting theme behind the major attacks: Radical Islamic Terror Organizations.

REUTERS: The World Trade Center site has been attacked twice, first by a truck bomb in 1993 and then in the September 11 attacks that destroyed the Twin Towers. Madrid, London and Mumbai have since been hit by transit system attacks.
