Reply #48: How many by way of a public bombing on U.S. soil, by the way?

That's kind of the point. They're good at this sort of thing. Professional killers and so forth. Professional killers don't start a war with the United States to blow up a diplomat who presumably spends most of his time in nearby parts of the war-torn Middle East.

The "plan" suggested to have been thwarted was laughably amateurish and proposed taking on an extremely high risk of international disaster to kill a minor political figure who could be taken out any day of the week in any number of ways with exponentially less risk.

Makes no sense at all. None.
