9/11 in Brazil.

Hitting that big statue and maybe some other stuff there.
Now what?
Well I won't go as far as to call it ASB.... but has their ever been any type of terrorist attack in Brazil? I'm sure they've got some form of local Muslim population, and if they were to become radical and somehow achieve backing from AQ, they might suceed. But why would they waste a jihad on Brazil? It opposed the US invasion of Iraq for example.... if they're going to blow some place up, it should at least be relevant.....
 
Assuming they hit the statue, less dead people. And it might be less chance that the impact was videotaped so no iconic chrash scene. I don't think Brazil would have the same ability to go on a counteroffensive as the US had.

Because terrorists are evil geniuses who coherently make sense in their ploting?
 
I think a synagoge was attacked in Brazil or Argentina killing a lot of people. IIRC Iran is blamed for it.

It was in Argentina, in 1996.

About the attack in Brazil, hitting the statue of Jesus the Redeemer would only kill tourists, but it would make possible the attack to be videotaped too.

I can see no obvious reason why would they attack us. The only small possibility I can think is something related to Brazilian troops helping the Australians in Eastern Timor. And, in the extreme case of they really do it, I just can't imagine the Brazilian government sending troops abroad to fight terrorists, the most extreme thing that could happen is, if the attack is really related with something happened in Timor, Brazil would send more men there. Also, it could lead to some individual actions against mosques and Muslims in the country, but nothing more than it.
