USFK leaders are once again emphasizing the danger of an off post terror attack in wake of the Fort Dix terror bust:

“The terrorists are being more wide range,” said Lt. Col. Anthony Allen, deputy chief of antiterrorism and force protection. “They’re not here looking at striking the United States. They’re looking at representatives of the United States, and a representative of the United States is an American soldier.”

He also said South Korea is “the perfect place to plan a future attack” because it is safe and has stable businesses, a growing Islamic community, and a small group of people who oppose the U.S. military presence here. “They want to pick places that haven’t been hit,” he said. “Korea is a prime target.”

The terrorist threats against South Korea is nothing new considering the number of terror cells including Hezbollah, Al Qaida, and Jemaah Islamiah have been detected or broke up in Korea before.  I still think an attack on the Seoul subway system is more likely than an attack on a club because of how easy it is to transport a bomb on the subway and the amount casualties it would cause.  Can anyone imagine what the back lash against foreigners and USFK in Korea would be after such an attack?  It would not be fun to be living in Korea after such an attack.

With that said though I am very confident in the Korean authorities ability to monitor and break up terror cells in Korea as is evident by their past performance.  Any guesses on how many bugging devices are in the Itaewon Mosque right now?
