And, unlike the 9/11 attackers, they were all citizens of the country they were attacking. That is why the attack in Paris 2015 looks more like a combination of two other attacks: the London Underground bombing in 2005 (the terrorists were all national citizens) and the plot executed in Mumbai in 2008 (the terrorists used small arms and targeted people individually).
乍一看，这一比喻武断而牵强。巴黎有十二人死亡，而纽约和华盛顿有近3,000人被杀。巴黎的袭击者使用的是卡拉什尼柯夫冲锋枪，而不是劫持的飞机。此外，与9/11袭击者不同，他们都睡被袭击国家的公民。因此，2015年巴黎袭击事件看上去更像是其他两起袭击事件的合体：2005年伦敦地铁爆炸事件（恐怖分子全部是英国公民）和2008年孟买事件（恐怖分子使用轻型武器针对个别定向目标）。
