Notice how the LEO continue to think "in the box" on this? If it is a terror related crime they need to realize the guy pulling the trigger is not thinking like the normal criminal. Profiling according to US standards and all the other tricks of the trade may prove to be worthless. They need to be asking the Israeli, Greek or some other police agency who has delt with terrorists for years for advice on this one.

It could be for public consumption. But I have been thinking the same as you on this. Trained sniper, military op.

There is a resistance to believing this is a terrorist incident. That resistance comes from the conviction that "Terrorists will claim credit for their acts." Did they sleep through the 9/11/01 attacks. There was no claim of credit there. There was no claiam of credit in the Kobar Towers bombing, USS Cole bombing etc. etc.

My best guess at this point is the police departments are absolutely clueless about who is behind these attacks. The lone nut case would most likely have been narrowed down some by now. They need to completely investigate that angle along with all the usual procedures

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

Very good! Youre right on the money with your assessment. The police are still thinking inside the box while the terrorist has been operating outside of it. As it stands theyll catch him only if they get lucky. When they start thinking like a terrorist (admitting its a terrorist op is the first step) then theyll be in a better place to catch him....if they don't wait too long that is.
