The link to the source was very helpful.

Excellent summary. You captured the information in the article very well. I would suggest trying shorter sentences, if in doubt. In two places above I have chopped sentences into smaller pieces.

Summary: Paris-Style Attacks- I need someone to check my summary, thanks!

Terrorists change their approach to making attacks. The assault on Paris in 2017 was not regarded as a typical terrorist attack. In the past, they tended to use suicide bombs whereas nowadays they are more likely to use guns and cause more casualties.

According to Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, it was urban warfare, which uses the city as the battleground and prolongs the terror, thus the terrorists can survive much longer. For example, the attack in Mumbai in 2008 was considered successful by terrorists and they tried to emulate this for some time.

In the Paris attack, the shooters were believed to be trained by al-Qaida. Normally al-Qaida focuses very complicated bombs onto a plane, but the group keeps evolving. After all, all they want is to make the maximum impact.

For terrorists, the appeal of this kind of attack is that it only needs people with guns and can have maximum effect. On the contrary, the Commando-style attack needs some training.

The question is whether this type of attack will prevale in the future? The director of MI5 warned that Britain is prone to encounter the Paris-style attacks and America may face the jihadist attack in the future.

The good news is that these Paris-style attacks require plotters, and are thus more easily prevented by the police in advance.
