Remember too that terrorism is really a form of PR, rather than (in most cases) an actual destruction of infrastructure or whatnot. Smart terrorists will obviously leverage any channel available to cause a population to view their world as unstable.

Also remember too that plans such as this may be "fishing"...in other words, communications in the hope that somebody out there (not directly known to the issuer of the communique) will take the info and work out his own plans for attacking the target.

I'm sure our boys at the School of the Americas (or whatever it's called now) use these mthods all the time. In fact, they're probably the ones who taught the Mujahadin (and bin Laden) a lot of these techniques.
