To be fair in 1992-93 when the Cia shooting happened
none of us had any idea there was such a thing as AlQueda.
That would explain a lack of AlQueda or Terrorism tie in.
It was thought to be a personal grudge.
I think they also noted his possible motive as hatred for
the CIA getting involved in Pakistan during the
Soviet Afghan war. Seem to remember some imagined
slight against the CIA he had???.
Long time ago.
I found out the shooter had lived not even a 1/4
mile away from me in some local apartments.
Scary.
