Fascinating. I did not know about the Dutch mercs. Thanks. German and Russians mercs don't surprise me. In fact, I'm willing to bet my lunch money this guy is a Russian getting paid by some Muslim group.

Well, could be. But all the Russians I've ever known absolutely despise Muslim terrorists. Still, some Russian soldiers have been known to traffic with the Chechens for $. The scum who do so, of course, don't seem the calibre to be recruited by some international Muslim terror organisation. Could happen, I guess, strange things do.

If you think a Muslim terrorist cell is behind this, then why can't the shooter be a Muslim? Muslims can shoot pretty good. I've known a number of Muslims from lots of different countries who can shoot just fine. They can also be disciplined and organised.

FWIW, I have no idea who the shooter(s) might be. I just hope and pray he/they are stopped quickly.

You're welcome :) Yes, there were certainly some in former Yugoslavia. A couple were real nutty. I think there may be some articles posted on FR about a couple of them. Also ran into more Dutch than I would have guessed in SE Asia who were serving in the FFL.

And no, I'm saying this sniper is a Dutch merc!
