Richardson first pointed out the power-law relation between the occurrence of war-like events and the consequent casualties. More recently, attention has been paid to the observed power-law relation between the frequency of terrorist acts and the number of resulting casualties and attempts have been made to explain these observations by deriving them from a model of randomly aggregating and disaggregating terrorist groups. This comment points out a weakness in the model and offers a simple extension to eliminate it. |
