When you study the mind of a criminal you might determine 
that these factions chose these days for their violence 
for certain reasons.

1. Possibly it was the easiest way to kill more people at 
once since they were congregated in one place.
2. Men would be unarmed (possibly it was sacreligious to 
have weapons in a holy place).
3. Strictly for the psyhcological impact. How tragic to 
lose a loved on on a holiday. It's bad enough to have to 
suffer the death of a love one, but when it occurs on a 
holiday you will be forever reminded of his/her brutal 
death when you try to celebrate the holiday each year 
afterwards.

A criminology group could brainstorm and come up with many 
more reasons for picking holidays for attacks. It's 
amazing how intelligent and cunning these ruthless and 
brutal minds can be. All the more reason we law abidding 
citizens should study them, past and present so we can be 
on our guard to protect ourselves from them.

These topics may not be for the tender at heart or the 
politically correct. However, it is our duty to ourselves 
and our future generations to study the history of 
criminal acts.

Just MHO.
