Is there a thread for this already? I didn't see one.

She was recruited through Footprints, apparently. Pretty crazy.

I read about that and was just going to post it, so I don't think there's an existing thread on it.

I hope they find the killer and find out what drove him or her to act with such violence.

S/he apparently waited an hour and a half in the bathroom just to kill her. Although I wonder if they were waiting that long for any American to come in? Then again, they argued, so it seems like they knew each other. I just don't see how they're going to find this person. Hopefully video somewhere caught the person getting into a vehicle that has plates. So sad for her children.

Wow. That's really terrible. Let's hope they catch the culprit.

It was a woman terrorist. they have her in custody now. Apparently she bought a newspaper and waited for 90 minutes for the American to come in stabbed her with a large knife and ran out of the mall. She then went and drove to another American's residence and planted a bomb before she was captured.

Oh my God, what the hell? I just went and read the update:

Kind of interesting how they point out what many are probably thinking:

"They also did not say how the suspect could have been positively identified, since she was completely covered by a veil and gown."

Hopefully they do indeed have the right person.

This incident is very scary because of the lone wolf terrorist. I think anyone who is currently in the middle east is at risk.

She apparently was a lone wolf terrorist. She had no connections to any group. Just apparently inspired by terrorist websites.
