Anytimea user logs onto his/her account, a log is generated which includes the IP address of the client

Assuming the ISP keeps the logs. And assuming law enforcement gets a subpoena on the logs before the relevant records expire and are deleted (which may be 48 hours, or two weeks, or four ... or they may be permanently archived on backup tapes, who knows).

An earlier story noted the FBI was involved in the investigation, let's hope they've brought some of their War On Terror experience to the table.

Although it was never explicitly reported (you had to read between the lines), the Moos are not a computer-savvy as believed, and the Dan Pearl murderers were nabbed because they were sending Hotmails with the source IP embedded in the header, which pointed back to an Internet cafe in Karachi. IIRC a similar thing with Kalid Sheik Mohammad.

Let's hope someone in this investigation is on the ball.

I just spoke with a friend of mine in the Coptic community. He gave me an update. A small riot started at the funeral for the family when the Muslim cleric showed up. Order was quickly restored, but it shows the level of tension there.

He pointed out that there are many in the Coptic community that are waiting to see what the police find to determine where they will go from here.

Updates to follow, when I can.
