"Black Sunday" In Detroit?

With the Super Bowl all set to go on Sunday at Ford Field in Detroit, the city is on high alert for perhaps the first time since the 1967 riot. Anticipating a possible Black Sunday-style terrorist attack - this wouldn't happen to be a racist fear of the Arab-American population in nearby Dearborn, would it? - security is being stepped up big time for the game.
Personally, I can't picture al-Qaeda attacking Detroit under any circumstances. It would be like the devil trying to steal souls in Las Vegas - is there any need for it?
Detroit is one of a handful of American cities that make Newark look like Milan by comparison.
