I did not know about the Dutch mercs.

You're welcome :) Yes, there were certainly some in former Yugoslavia. A couple were real nutty. I think there may be some articles posted on FR about a couple of them. Also ran into more Dutch than I would have guessed in SE Asia who were serving in the FFL.

And no, I'm saying this sniper is a Dutch merc!

Wow. You certainly met a lot of interesting characters in your travels. You made a great point about the Russians hating the Muslims. I was guessing Russian because Russian assassins get a lot of coverage in the NY/NY area. Now I'm going to have to rethink my theory. I'm still shaking my head about the Dutch thing.

I tend to rule out the chance of it being a Muslim shooter because the Israeli's don't seem to have a lot of sniper trouble. Other than that ambush a few months ago and an occassional sniper attack now and then it doesn't seem to be the Muslim m.o.I would think that if there were a cadre of competent Muslim Snipers that the Israeli's would be pinned down by sniper fire on a daily basis. It would be much more effective than throwing rocks or blowing up a bus.

Oops! "And no, I'm saying this sniper is a Dutch merc!" should be "And no, I'm NOT saying this sniper is a Dutch merc!" Sorry for my typo!
