Through the imam at the local mosque?
To: BillinDenver
My guess is that this guy was a very low-level sleeper agent who got tired of waiting and demanded to be given a mission of some sort.

Actually, I and some other freepers picked up on the fact that Peres's granddaughter was at the airport and might have been Hayadat's real target. How would he have known she was there? Accomplises, therefore a plot, therefore definitely terrorism. Perhaps other Arabic "limo services" keep track of comings and goings of prominent Israelis.

I did not read it here. It was mentioned in the Los Angeles Times original story that the grand daughter was at the airport. It was dismissed as a possible motive by the authorities in the article.

Regardless of citizenship, someone should have a hearing about the agency that issued the gun permits to this guy. He appears to have been in some kind of sleeper terrorist cell and waited for instructions on a target of opportunity such as the granddaughter of Peres. It is just too convienent that his family was back in Egypt, when this happened.
As the NRA says, lets sensible enforce the existing laws before we write new ones.

Peres's daughter or granddaughter? Note that this article says daughter, something I have not seen claimed before. Probably a slip.
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
She was at the airport? So what? He clearly did not act like an assassin, but a terrorist shooting wildly. And how would he know she's there? Why didn't he shoot her?
Her being at the airport is just an interesting tidbit to fuel the tin-foil crowd.

Sure is an interesting angle to this attack. I hadn't heard she was in town until this. Given that nobody here had heard about her being in town, I wonder how a lowly Egyptian cabbie would know? This report described an investigation into possible links to and meetings with between Hadayet and the founder of Egyptian Islamic Jihad, Ayman al-Zawahiri, in 1995 and 1998. It's at least possible that Hadayet was an agent or operative of the Islamic Jihad group- the timing of his original entry to the USA certainly raises an eyebrow toward that possibility. Additional background on Ayman al-Zawahri *here*.

The headline said granddaughter.
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
Bresnahan was a state-level representative ( Senator? ) for a while, and wrote "Cover-Up!"-- a book I highly recommend reading *if* you can find it. Explains in exact detail how the clintons & their buddies milked the various development "Authorities" in Arkansas for millions of bucks to jump-start their rise to power years ago.

Thanks for the info.

The wife is supposedly in Egypt right now. Is the INS letting her back in?

First I heard of her being at the airport. That's probably why Peres was one of the first Israelis to speak out about it. What I wanna know is how did this slimeball know she was there?
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
Yeah what's up with that gun permit?!?! Do they mean a CCW permit? Maybe because he was in Irvine, I know that Sheriff Corona (?) of Irvine is more lenient with issuing permits than Sheriff Baca or Chief Parks in Los Angeles. I think immigrants with a green card can apply for them.
We need to know more about this. It is patently rediculous if a non-citizens in one county (a relatively safe part of the state) can get a CCW permit while native born Americans in another part of the state can't. Between this terrorist and Robert Blake, I've had enough.
I'm going on the offensive. I'll start by writing a letter to Jim March.
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
I'd like to know if Peres' granddaughter was accompanied by Israeli or USSS bodyguards or was she traveling incognito and unguarded. Seems to me she would be high-risk as a target for death or kidnapping/hostage taking.
If she had protection, what did any bodyguards do doing the attack? If she didn't, what did SHE do during the attack?
Just trying to put all bits and pieces together. Was her presence there at LAX known to the US or not?
I could go on.

She probably does have special protection making it that much harder for guys like Hedayat to find her in an airport terminal. Like maybe a special security or "first class" lounge or something.
To: monkeyshine
Are you kiddng? He was probably the first person that El Al security called- or maybe the grand daughter called home to say she was all right.
