An itinerary worth watching

Brisbane Times:

Depending on how you look at it, they are the world's luckiest or unluckiest tourists.

UK couple Jason and Jenny Cairns-Lawrence have been on holiday in Mumbai, London and New York just as terrorists have attacked each of those cities, and have survived each occasion.

The couple, from Dudley, near Birmingham, were in central Mumbai last month as Islamic terrorists targeted foreigners during a killing spree that paralysed the city with fear, London's Telegraph reported.

They were also in New York on September 11, 2001, when hijacked planes crashed into the twin towers and brought them down, killing about 3000 people.

Four years later, they were in London on July 7 when four terrorists used suicide bombs to blow up trains and buses, killing 52.

The couple have been labelled "tourists of evil omen", according to the Press Trust of India, but the pair put it down to a "strange coincidence".

"It's a strange coincidence. The terror attacks just happened when we were in the cities. I shouldn't be laughing about it, but it is a strange coincidence," Mrs Cairns-Lawrence, 26, a dental worker, said.

I think if they would forward their itinerary to the Homeland Security Department the appropriate alerts could issued.
