For those who wondered, after doing some Google translating of various articles, yes, they were Catholic churches.
"First questioning of witnesses brought the description of a possible suspect, who made a drunken impression: To 25 Years 1,75 m tall, athletic, dark short hair, black down jacket, skater jeans, white sneakers. This person was observed by three witnesses at two locations" (Google translate)
After reading 5 or 6 articles, it looks like their top suspect is a drunk white guy. Probably not Islamists after all. Probably just one of their best buddies, a Godless atheist Leftist. They both hate Christians...
I sure wouldn't bet against it being a Mooze Lame just on the basis of where they were born. Iz Lame Icks have put a lot of effort, and money, into trying to find people who were born in European countries to convert.
Without the beard and even with it, Lindh didn't look like he was a run of the mill Mooze Lame in Afghanistan, but there he was, a guy from California fighting with the Taliban.
