Even if Foolstroupe had not qualified exactly one of my predictions with "OK, so while we are being distracted by this fracas, what ELSE is going on?" I would still offer one last FACT, straight from the guy's mouth (via the TV). One I did not predict, even to myself - it would be too preposterous.

One of the "marks" had applied to join the police force.

Quite a PR coupe for the terrorists. They choose well.

Needless to say my scenario looks far more convincing with this news.
