I did ponder that actually, would it be like ignoring a destructive child, and they'd just step it up until they got noticed? But then, one would imagine they're already planning the biggest strikes they can "get away with" (plan and execute without being sniffed out). I doubt they're doing the bare minimum or holding back, so there would really be no way to provoke them into bigger attacks,and one might hope it would result in fewer people being inspired to form "lone wolf" cells for fame / glory.
It also seems to have a sort of chain reaction effect when one attack is reported. You get a succession of attacks reported over days / weeks then things go relatively quiet again. Makes me wonder if one attacks being reported has a sort of "Oh we better do ours now!" effect on other cells... Either just inspiring them, or because they anticipate a "crackdown" in the aftermath.
