In the decade since the the decade Mumbai terror attack was conducted by boat, Mumbai has stepped up its maritime security, boosted its emergency services, and commissioned 257 warships and technology upgrades, including undersea sensors. Still, anticipating Mumbai-inspired attacks doesn't mean they'll be averted, and especially when they involve simple weaponry and can exploit the open access afforded by major cities in the West and beyond. The India attack created an oft-repeated blueprint of terror where a small group of assassins attacks an open urban space, a scenario counter-terrorism authorities prepared for internationally. The risk of this kind of attack has fallen with the decline of al-Qaeda and al-Qaeda , but its simplicity means the risk is omnipresent, as a simple attack on a mundane public place is almost impossible to prevent.
