a) conspiratorial yet with few involved
b) amateurish
c) lone wolf (with the exception a few people knew in Pakistan and USA)
d) not highly professionally trained and targeted Lakshar e Taiba terrorist activity, as the jehadi would have been much more trained in bomb construction, placement, as well as escape and evasion tactics in a several week to several month course or courses in Pakistani terror camp areas (or Paki occupied Kashmir).
Sounds like a free lancer with a little bit of help. There must be HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of these sleepers hanging around the US waiting to self activate. Just my initial impressions. I am going to check the Indian and Paki press now, which might be a lot more active and up to date than middle of the night US jaded and insular MSM. There MAY have been a tie in to the impending verdict on Kasab over the 26/\11 Mumbai attacks, as a Pakistani, but have some doubts.
Thanks. Keep us posted.
Its actually Hundred of Thousands, if not MILLIONS. They tend to congregate in and around buildings called mosques. They go by the code name "MUSLIMS".
