Bomb Found Near U.S. Base In Turkey

I don't understand why stories like this don't get more press. The bomb was planted, found, and defused. But does this make it any less of an attack? I found this story buried on page 6A of the print edition of USA Today. Had the attack been successful, it would have been major news (depending, of course, on how many people died in the attack).

Why is that? I have seen compilations of the litany of terrorist attacks in the last several years, but what would that list look like if every failed or foiled attempt was also listed? Let's estimate the kind of damage this would do in a crowded nightclub and look at what could have been. Only focusing on successful attacks diminishes what the terrorists are doing and how active they are, and fails to give credit to ours and other country's successes in thwarting terrorist plots.
