Speaking of “no direct connections to international terrorism,” has anyone heard anything about the bomb in Vegas? The story appears to have disappeared off all headlines everywhere.
I heard some followup coverage this morning. The employee killed was the intended target of the bomb. This was a hit not a terrorist act. If terrorism was the intent, the bomb would have been inside a casino not in the parking garage and set to explode only when the employee picked it up.
The fact that it took place at an Egyptian themed casino is not relevant - and remember, always remember, “There are no direct connections to international terrorism.”
The anthrax attacks were carried out by some lone wacko, The LAX El Al attack, the Salt Lake City mall shootings, the DC Sniper killings where all the work of a few frustrated individuals with “no direct connections to international terrorism.”
Other than a couple of incidents that took place in New York some years ago, and that are no longer discussed in the media, there have been no attacks in the United States where the attackers had any “direct connections to international terrorism.” Why if there was some link between these attacks and international terrorism we might have to start enforcing our immigration laws. We could even see people calling for a prohibition on the entry into the US of people from countries where a significant portion of the population want to kill large numbers of us. I mean, what could that lead to?
The bomb was specifically targeted for one person. It does not appear to be a terror plot.
