As others on this thread (or the other one running with info about today's shooting) said, ransom is in keeping with various Muslim terrorist groups--could be this is a "minor league" AQ club and in need of outside funding.

Could be. Again, everything is on the table. Cannot, and will not rule anything out. But I just don't see AQ making ransom demands. They are mainly interested in destroying the evil infidels. A rogue cell? Could be. Not ruling anything out. The only thing for sure in this is that this guy is good. He is always 2-3 steps ahead of LE. And I predict that it will be a long time before he is caught. I would predict he will voluntarily stop before he is caught. There is just not enough manpower in the LEAs to cover every spot. Unless we declare Martial law and just shut down everything, and stop everyone that moves about, he has too much freedom of movement. This is one of the prices of freedom. Not complaining here mind you. Just stating the obvious. I don't see this ending soon. Unless this guy gets bored with it.

Sources said the sniper's money demand has them all but convinced that he is not a foreign terrorist.
