"I don't think it is a Muslim. While spectacular when it comes to blowing themselves up, they lack the requisite skill to be so methodical on a consistent basis."

The PLO has carried out some very skilled sniper attacks in Israel over the past few years. However, you're right, it doesn't come naturally to the jihadist mind—Israel actually suspects at least one of the snipers was IRA, "on loan" to the PLO as both a terrorist and a teacher. (The IRA and Muslim terrorist groups often train together, strange as that may seem.) Something similar could be happening here.

Please see my post # 81 which I was typing when you replied. You are right about the IRA. I had forgotten about them. The Muslims just don't strike me as having the capacity to produce a guy like this. They would absolutely kill women, children etc... but they would either die in the attempt or get caught. This guy is just too good. In my post 81 I speculated on this guy having seen action in Yugoslavia or Chechnya where children were considered fair game. Do you know if there is any history of the IRA shooting children?
