CAIRO: The father of Egyptian gunman Hisham Mohammed Hadayet who opened fire at a check-in counter of Israeli carrier El Al in Los Angeles was a general in Egypt's army, his neighbors said Friday.
The former general, Ahmad Ali Hadayet, lives in the family household in the central Abbassiya district in Cairo, an AFP reporter said.
The information was confirmed by security sources here, but the family refused to talk to reporters.
On Thursday, Hisham Hadayet opened fire at the check-in counter of Israel's national airline El Al killing a 20-year-old female clerk and a middle-aged man, before being shot dead himself by an El Al security agent.
"I have known Hisham for several years. He was a normal person, he was religious but did not go often to the mosque," one of his neighbors said, requesting anonymity.
Hadayet's wife and two children returned to Egypt in June, security sources said. They added that his wife has been questioned, without elaborating.
FBI officials said that Hadayet was on their watch list, without saying why. They added he had lived in the United States since 1992 and worked as a limousine driver.
Egyptian officials kept mum Friday after the FBI revealed one of their fellow nationals carried out the Los Angeles attack. Officials at the interior ministry refused to comment when questioned by reporters.
Lawyer Montasser al-Zayet, who defends Egyptian Islamists in court, said Hadayet was not known to be a member of any Islamist movement.

I heard on the radio that police had gone to the home a few weeks ago because of a domestic dispute.it's pure conjecture on my part, but I wonder if the "domestic dispute" could have been over him disclosing to his wife his "birthday mission"? she goes into a rage and makes arrangements to go back home to momma.
p.s. it would be interesting to know if these homicide terrorist have applied for any life insurance recently?

oooh! Will insurance cover suicide by terrorism?

Struck me that if the jihadi crowd are using sleepers or undercover assets to kill, they may be running out of options in the USA. Unless this was an assassination where they were willing to sacrifice a key asset; Peres' daughter was at the terminal for this flight.
After all, as a limo driver, he'd be invaluable for clandestine meetings in the vehicle and pickups and dropoffs for jihadis in transit. So why sacrifice someone who's got a very decent cover.
So, if they are sacrificing components of their network, have we dealt them a real solid blow in the USA. Their regular agents(suicidals) are imprisoned and being watched. No attacks on either the 5th or the 6th - not the big one promised.
Cause for optimism?

Peres daughter was there, and Peres came out moments after this POS stopped twitching on the floor of the EL Al ticket area and came out saying that this was an act of terrorism.
I agree with your premise that they may be very desperate and scraping the bottom of the barrel re what to do next.
If that was all that they could do to us over this holiday, they are pretty impotent. This fall it will be time to take out Syria, Iran and Iraqs thugs who rule those three countries. That will shut down the money supply and most of the communications from these bastards.
Does that mean we won't have acts of violence and even some mass terrorism? No!
However, I think that their elite corp of terrorists have been arrested, scattered or under watch. Funds must be getting harder to get, now that their jewelery sales outlets in the Malls are gone or under watch. It is time to clean our house and lock these bastards up or hope they end up like this POS!
So it is time for guarded optimism. We still have a massive job to do. The liberal media, the ACLU, the black/pro Islamic Terrorist Congressits, the Zogbys and others will try to stop our roundup of these killers and potential killers. We can't allow them to do that until the Bravo Sierra is wrapped in garbage bags and in containers on the curbs to be picked up and disposed of.

Re: Jennings. Isn't that smarmy bastard a Canadian? Why doesn't he just take all his American-made money and go back?

The real test is how any American Muslim feels about homicide bombers in Israel. Sadly, in my experience, though many decry 9-11, virtually all end the sentence with a very loud BUT: "but the Palestinian situation is different." Targeting civilians, apparently, in this case is A-OK.

The Egyptians, as a statement of outrage, are threatening to decline America's $4 billion gift this year. If we really piss them off, there are rumblings that they might give us $4 billion as a rebuke. It's getting nasty. The murderer gunned down a 20 year old woman in cold blood. It's easy to summon rage sometimes.
They have surpassed even France as the whore of the world. Their allegiance is for sale to the highest bidder. They have told their Arab brethren that they need only receive mega billions and they will take care of eliminating Israel once and for all.

I think it's quite telling that his wife and kid(s) left a couple of weeks ago....for the fatherland.
To: Shermy; Grampa Dave
'talking points' that suggest all stories be framed with the conclusion that America and Israel are opposed...But given the fact that the entire planet views America and Israel as joined at the hip, it seems like all this dissembling is only for the benefit of the U.S. audience.
Another reason for the "hard cop/soft cop shadow play may be that intell flows more freely when nobody's pointing fingers.
Otherwise, I don't get it. Anyone who thinks these "isolated incidents" are either isolated or incidental is not paying attention.
