Terrorism Risk: Why Singapore and not Dubai

For sometime I have been trying to find out why was Singapore targeted but not Dubai. Even Saudi Arabia wasn't spared. Today I found a possible reason why; Al Qaeda needs Dubai. It is a lifeline of sorts for them. See "Al Qaeda in the UAE"

Note there is a major error of fact in the article which I felt the author shouldn't have made. He had confused the Al Nahyan family which runs Abu Dhabi with the Al Maktoum which governs Dubai. Well, for what it is worth, it is quite interesting.
