Good Afternoon Jeff:

All good points.

The reason I believe it is Muslim terrorists, is that even when done on a small scale, it instills fear in people. I live less than 5 miles from the original Mont Co. killings. You don't even feel safe going to a Home Depot now. They have hit normal places, gas stations, stores, schools, outside a bank.

Yes, it's only this area right now, I believe other cities could be next.

9-11 was the big one. These are more personalized. Stage 3, I'm afraid, could be a suicide bombing in the local Starbucks.

Regards,

BobP

I think the Jihad note in the Baltimore mans van, along with his possession of a similar weapon and Tarot card too, raises the odds of Al Queda roots at this point. As for choice of weapon, hey, the chosen weapon is very effective. Who's to say, if this is Al Queda, what sort of testing phase this may be, and what would come next. If they have few enough willing operatives here, the point could well be to preserve them- not stupid, I'd say.
