Any kind of terrorist attack is tragic, but these events are hitting too close to home. These are people with similar culture to us, the same quality of life that we have, and they are under attack. This means it can just as likely happen to us or loved ones. It's getting to the point that we're expecting these attacks to happen on a regular basis. That's a whole new level of scary and there doesn't seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel right now.

Isn't that a bit of a selfish take on it though? We care more because they are close to hitting home and their culture is closer to ours? Shouldn't we equally care about it happening to anyone anywhere? We're all humans and the biggest issue is people seem to forget that. If western countries didn't go messing around in these other countries a lot of this likely woulnd't even be happening. That's the messed up part.
