Perhaps I'm just being too cynical..but the story sounds alittle too much like the wooley-haired stranger stories people tell to cover-up something. People have injured themselves to get a certain type of attention. Also, I doubt that a real terrorist would let an unarmed guard get away...the story may be 100% accurate but for now I'm cynical.

Why didn't anyone else hear the shot?

Perhaps the perp got nervous and wasn't necessarily thinking clearly. ....unarmed guard get away...

A stranger in a strange land perhaps, when alone, does not think clearly, especially when something goes wrong in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere.
