First attack will be a mortar attack. The Ford Traveller used will be
found burned out and abandoned a few blocks from the bar.

The second attack will be a lightly armoured car bomb driven by a
suicide bomber. As soon as he dies or impacts on the building the car
will detonate.

Once those two succeed or fail, concentration will go elsewhere, until
after a few weeks, a single suicide bomber attempts to gain access to
the bar on foot - probably amongst a crowd of locals. He will blow the
explosives as soon as he is discovered or enters.

Mortars, old hat :) What do you think the squash courts on the roof are
for? (False roof to cause mortar bombs to premature, which when walled
in and marked up makes excellent squash courts: as described to me by
Dixie Dixon)

Investigated by Geiger months ago. A vehicle bomb can't get within
thirty feet of the building. Enough to blow out windows and wreck the
neon, but not to do real damage unless it's an artic-load of ANFO.

That one will succeed. Some methods can be guarded against, but that
one's a cast-iron bastard to prevent, especially if the explosives are
sealed to beat the sniffers.
