As I understand the quotes or paraphrases I've read from the high police official, this individual was definitely not connected with the bombing attempt of yesterday (or was it the day before?)

Please note that he did not say "He was not connected with the previous, sucessful four bombings." Nor did he say that he was not a terrorist.

We just flat-out don't know enough of the underlying facts to make judgments about this, tempting as it is for some here (I really don't have to name names) to wax indignant and throw words like "murder" and "in cold blood" around.

I will acknowledge someone's (or maybe a series of someones') comment above that we may never know. That's a possibility. But for now, all we have grounds for is a concerned (and perhaps suspicious) heightening of attention.
