While it's not ruled out that this is a middle-eastern style act, it's just as
likely it's a homeboy act. Don's assertion that our home-grown terrorists
don't
as easily give up their own lives as do the middle-eastern or Asian types is
quite correct. However, the middle-eastern model involves boastful claims of
responsibility, without which the act is meaningless in the context of their
struggle.
The only middle-eastern group that's done "big" things like this,
incorporating
suicide, in recent years has been the one associated with Usama bin Ladin, or
whatever his name is, and they've been unacompanied by claims of "we did it"
in
the past. That's why everyone involved seems to like this guy for the role of
#1 suspect, and tat's why we should not rush to judgment. It could turn out
that the WTC attacks were done by anti-globalization fanatics from
God-knows-where, while the Pentagon attack was done by someone unrelated. We
just don't have facts.

Obviously foreign. `McVeigh homeboys' are not inclined to offer up
their own lives in such efforts as are the `foreignboys'.
