"Possible mistaken ID by ISIS? Or possible ID falsification by ISIS?"

Could be the reason they are claiming the attack, a false identification by ISIS. That would make sense as their claims are usually true which is what makes this curious. However, if he was an ISIS convert, you would think we would have reports out on his facebook page or twitter account praising allah, perhaps when they got to his room, the ISIS flag or even a Koran. There are no reports of any of that. I'm really dubious at this point about the ISIS claim.

The whole thing is puzzling. Mostly the fact that this would have taken quite a bit of advance planning to set up, the guns and platforms in the room were certainly evidence of advance planning, Isis made its threat in May, the event itself was obviously targeted, the wife or girlfriend or roommate or whatever she was is a little mysterious, and the guy’s identity is pretty close to that of someone else who is a verified Islamic convert who seems to have been known to Israeli security services.

What else?

Oh - the “else”? He wanted to make his living as a professional gambler and his father was a bank robber. And he’d had 28 different addresses.

Now what else?
