[Extract: "The Maldives, which receives every year a large number of tourists from West Europe (particularly Italy and France), Japan and elsewhere, provides a tempting soft target for a Bali-type terrorist strike as well as for acts of maritime terrorism such as hostage-taking. Normally, a terrorist group considers a foreign territory for a possible terrorist strike only if it has some local support. The fact that KSM [Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, the supposed masterbrain of the 9/11 terrorist strikes - ed.] suggested the Maldives for a possible future operation indicates the likelihood of a sleeper cell there [...]." - b.raman]
