I've never thought that God has no power over evil. I wouldn't call the laws of justice, mercy, and agency evil. Those are the three that have some primordial source. They are the mysteries. Evil? As you have said, evil is just banal, and always has been. Jesus overcame evil. Did you miss that part of the story?

The bombers choose not to overcome evil. God is in the overcoming, and not in the evil.
