The Pakistani woman from the terror threat seven is an interesting case. From what I understand, she's not AQ, rather, she is in charge of procuring body armor. Why would people intent on martyrdom need body armor? With sources of funding from AQ HDQRTRS running low, is it possible this cell needs to commit some armed robberies to make ends meet? That bank robbery in LA some years back was a real nutcruncher. 2 guys with body armor kept dozens of law enforcement at bay for hours.

Opinions?

Use a center fire rifle load.

And aim for a head shot.

"Why would people intent on martyrdom need body armor?"

I'd imagine that if AQ wanted to pull off a mall shooting with AK's and grenades, they just have to realize that some cops or even armed citizens might be present. They'd want to accomplish max damage before somebody wised up and went for the cranio-ocular shot to turn out the lights. So, the classic "Failure to Stop" drill. Two fast ones to the body and then assess the damage if any. If target is still a threat immediately segue into a head shot and fire for effect. Rest in Pieces, Mohammed.

Umm, although always appreciated, you may have misunderstood the point. It was more related to the possibility of interconnected crimes rather than specifically prevention of said crime.
