"An actual bombing"?  Whee!  A joe-jobbers field day!  Want to turn
$COUNTRY into radioactive glass?  Get some suicide volunteers to
infest their cybercafes!
Why suicide volunteers?  A little well-directed spam about
pornographic screensavers ...

Possibly - but if I were running the operation, I wouldn't count on
being able to deceive the US military's counterstrike people as to the
real origin of the traffic.  The best way to make them think it's
coming from $COUNTRY is to make it actually come from $COUNTRY.

Unless you meant something else and I'm missing it.
