DISQUS

I think this was a very specific individual problem rather than some massive Islamist plot. The perpetrator was clearly in a very unstable psychological head space due to his perception of his treatment by colleagues and his anxisty about the Iraq posting. This should have been picked up sooner by the military I reckon. He wsa clearly on the verge of doing something crazy for a while. It might be a cultural thing though that his attitude was explained as 'cowardly' and that he need to strighten himself out or something.

Could be. Certainly not a lot of evidence to believe it was part of a larger plot at the time being. From everything released in the news so far, seems an isolated incident based on a specific individual.
