Any word on if Fusion was the lead terrorist in this one. Did he survive?

No, he's trying to figure out if he can change:

Shamil Basayev slowly making his way North with but a suitcase, Koran, and the knowledge that he is Allah's chosen to liberate all Chechens once and for all...

into:

Movsar Barayev slowly making his way North with but a suitcase full of followers, Koran, and the knowledge that he is Allah's chosen to liberate all Chechens once and for all...

without any of us noticing.

Whatever, just glad to see I'm not the only one cursed with a memory for such things.

Over here.

By the way, there were several people outside the theatre building, not two as was reported earlier, who communicated with the terrorists over cell phones and told them what was going on outside the building. By the way, they were not of Caucasian appearance at all. We noticed these people at once and closely watched them all the time

And...? Lots of unanswered questions in this paragraph!

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Fusion has been MIA for some time. Maybe he was in the Chechnyan mountains planning this big event for quite some time. Should we let Mr Robinson know that one of our own has perished?

Lady, something about you is not quite right. I can't put my finger on it exactly, but you are weird.

And I don't mean that in a nice way.

Nah - Fusion is currently running for Congress in North Carolina under the nom-de-Freep "Jomini", and I expect he'll resurface once he gets back to doing the Sterling Security gig.
