I agree with what Alberto says; also in my opinion terrorist will always want to kill us when we don’t expect it.
We cannot do anything to stop them beacuse we don’t kknow when they will attack us and why. -

Alberto says:
As far as I can tell it is very difficult to be prepared to these situations. Families cannot do anything if a terrorist wants to kill people. They choose the moments when we are more confident.
