Wasn't there an earlier article that claimed that the gunman had left Bosnia prior to that event? Has al-Reuters invented this spin?

B f'n deal. This Muslim planned and executed this event in my opinion as a terrorist attack. Did he get directions from the folks in the middle east? No, he got his walking orders from the MSM.

Now the media is making excuses for him going on this killing rampage. Unbelievable. The criminal is never guilty it is always somebody else's fault.

When the Bosnian Serbs overran the town in 1995, taking away and massacring some 8,000 Muslim men and boys, Sulejman and his mother were evacuated by the United Nations and later reunited with his father, Redzo said.

Why aren't the headlines "Clinton created the terrorist who killed 5 in Utah"?

Guess they should have made it an even 8001.

Using the war excuse then would make all of them ticking time bombs to explode on innocent people. The can't help themselves and have no personal responsibility for anything bad they ever do.

Somehow, this will be spun as the fault of the US, for not intervening.

And, of course, the fault of the guns.
