Not necessarily. The one who bombed the mall in Finland was a 19 year old born and bred Finish(sp?)guy who used bomb making chat rooms to learn how to make a home grown bomb. We can't ever rule out our own homegrown nutjobs we have here. And we have a hell of a lot of them.

You have a point. I was writing about al Qaeda in general rather than this case in DC.

This is true, however, the shooting last Monday of a 13 year old boy going into school is something that even with nutjobs, is very strange in our culture. I am very aware that there are those who target children, but those people do it for reasons that are not consistant with this type of killing.

The random shooting of a child really ups the terrorism quotient for me. We may have our sickos and nutjobs, but to shoot a child is pretty extreme for one of our own.
