Ok if the bad guy of this movie is a muslim bosnian who lost all his family by serbs snipers if he want revenge,why blow new york?iit will be more useful blow belgrado(home land of all bosnian wars)in where milosevic lived or banja luka(capital of the bosnian-serbs).i think if i want revenge i ll blow a enemy city not a nueutral city like new york..
shareActually, he's identified later in the movie as a "...diplomat from the Serbian-Bosnian delegation" just before the final chase in NYC begins.
He also "crosses" himself as he boards the diplomatic aircraft bound for New York...not something Muslims do, of course.
He is NOT a muslim terrorist. In fact, that is a major part of the plot that someone other than the Arabs have a beef with us and wanna nuke us.
Does that help?
its more logical blow the city of your enemy in tis case belgrado,
shareOh...I see..why NYC? Maybe Belgrade instead. Good question. I suppose there wouldn't be a big plot climax for American audiences if a splinter Serb faction blew a nuke off over there instead of right in our faces over here.
shareDid you watch the movie? Remember how he identified himself: "I am a Bosnian, I am a Croat, I am a Serb." He blamed everybody, but was after the 'peacekeepers.' Julia correctly identified that the peacekeepers weren't from Sarajevo, but from US and (IIRC) Great Britian. Combined with the big delegation happening in the UN, and the 44E clue, they pieced together where the bomb was going.
sharebikebryan: yes.....I believe I did watch the movie. Several times. I don't think I could comment on it without watching it.
shareIt wasn't clear, at least when you questioned why they decided to detonate in NYC. The movie made the reason pretty clear:
Peacekeepers = UN.
UN = NYC.
That's the simple version.
Because usually acts of terrorism are to gather attention to some specific problem. He was after the nations who had been somehow directly or indirectly responsible for the political problems of his nation. Clonney's character simplyfied the idea when he says to the dying terrorist on the church: "but this is not our war" to what the "peacekeeper" replies "It is now".
