      They didn’t want to die, the suicide vests were insurance. They never intended to actually detonate any of the bombs. They would never release hundreds of hostages if they wanted a high death toll.

        The lot of other bombs in building weren’t enough of insurance?

          Yes?

          If you’re going to commit an act of terror like this, do you think they would have half assed it?

          Again. Why would they let hundreds of hostages go, accept negotiation parties, and wait 4 days if all they intended to do was suicide bomb themselves? Why would the first thing they ask for be negotiators, and when those negotiators are sent, why would they hold true to their end of the deal and release several hostages?

          You also think that a terrorist is going to think logically? Of course they’re going to rig the place. Or did you expect them to leave the windows open and the doors unlocked too?
