I've heard this one too, but why does that happen? Surely the last place you'd want to do a terrorist attack is somewhere that just experienced one recently? Not only will everyone be on high alert so you're less likely to succeed, but your impact will be diminished since your attack is now getting mixed in with the previous one.

I guess it might be more of a psychological thing of not wanting to go there because it feels weird to vacation at the place of a tragedy, but from a safety perspective, it seems like the best choice.

If a terrorist attack happened there, it's actually more likely that it would happen again. It's not a random act, like lightning.

Lightning doesn't actually seem all that random either. I mean on a small scale, yes, but it seems like general areas are more prone to lightning than others.
