Love triangle and jealousy? Kind of a frenzied attack for the perp to be a stranger. Seems a lot of anger was involved.
A nation that has lost the will to survive or protect the good things and citizens it has created?
That sounds pretty reasonable. It could also be practitioners of the religion of peace getting rid of two very smart infidels.
BUMP!
