Some have suggested that this is a military sniper. If it is (the evation techniques suggest someone with such training), it almost certainly isn't a United States military sniper (whose rifles are zeroed for 300 meters and who are capable of consistently making shots at that range. Plus, if it was a US sniper the round being used would almost certainly be 7.62 instead of 5.56). It might be someone with European military training, however, where standards of marksmanship are less demanding.

In your opinion, how does this fit with the 'missing' Yugoslav national/French soldier-in-training?

France is over run with Muslims. "Rumor" has it the shooter(s) were ME or Hispanic looking. It could be both a French military national and an ME terrorist group.
. A French Muslim in the military who defected to continue the work of Allah, and his "Youths of God ( From the tape supposedly recorded by Bin Ladin)" here in the US.
Everyone could be right. French Muslim military guy joining the US followers of Allah.
He doesn't seem to keep a steady job, because he/they shoot at random times. Who's supporting him/them?

I don't think so because the 7.62 produces a great deal more muzzle blast AND has excessive penetration for the ranges involved. No reason to increase being located by using a weapon larger and louder than required. There are other reasons to aviod the 7.62 but this is the primary one, given the circumstances of these shootings.

PS......Another thought.....

He/she/they still haven't shot a Muslim. From what I undersand, this area has many Muslims. It seems as though at least one would have been hit out of 13.
Are the Muslims walking around as though they're safe? Do they look confident they won't be the next target? Are they acting giddish?
That could be a clue, too.

I didn't hear about that. Would you happen to have a link to that story?
