El Al ticket desks have been a favorite target of terrorists for decades. This attack is more similar to other attacks at el Al desks then it it is to Columbine. In fact, except for the fact that a gun was used, an Egyptian with TWO driver's licenses and TWO birthdates shooting up people at an airport is in no way similar to two screwed up, brain dead dorks murdering their teachers and classmates.
It does sorta bring to mind the attack on Israel's Lod International Airport [Now Ben-Gurion Airport] by members of the Japanese Red Army on May 30, 1972, on behalf of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine [PFLP, pronounced *flop*]
Though those shooters, who used Czech automatic rifles and grenades carried in musical instrument cases, [shades of the Chicago tommygunners with violin cases!] were of Japanese origin and consisted of two men and a woman, it's worth remembering that not all the Arab/Muslim terrorists or their hirelings or allies are named Mohammed and have dark complections. Indeed, if the successes of the Boston Mob and Russian intelligence services are any indication, they've probably got some US-born FBI agents on their payroll.
