The school threat was in the form of a letter sent to one of the schools (as I understand it). It was decided to close all the schools that Monday, and continue a police presence later, as a precaution. If this raghead was involved, then the Feds likely know it, yet I've read nothing to indicate his involvement. Thus, I'm skeptical. The only thing that relates the two stories is the timing. But, it does make me wonder.
I found the school threat interesting because our police chief spoke at our weekly Kiwanis Golden K meeting on Thursday, then the Sunday paper contained the news of the threat and the intended closure of schools on Monday. He sure kept a straight face during his speech, yet I'm confident he had to know on Thursday of the threat. I have to give him credit for his professionalism.
As to his 'lone wolf' status; it's possible, but as my wife said this morning, his friends have to be pretty bugged out right now. They're certainly under observation as well. Who knows what will turn up.
I question the "lone" part because here in Oklahoma, we had something similar--except this guy actually blew himself up once he was denied entry into a packed sports stadium at OU (some 85,000+ inside), and that's exactly how they described him. Yet, we knew that he had been visiting a nearby "Islamic Association" (aka mosque), and that his roommate was not only ME, but had a one way ticket to a ME country. All of that quickly fell off the front pages, and it went down as a "lone suicide." Apparently, lots of people happily forgot what had really happened.
