Update on Killing in French Alps
This BBC article has some better background info on the murders in the French Alps. See especially the 6-part timeline, which is halfway down the main pagehttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-19534578 Had some discussions with friends over the weekend. Purely informal. If this incident was the result of a hit by a major western intelligence agency ... then it's bloody brutal and quite messy. Definitely lacking in precision and execution. I'll stick with my own theory that the unexpected arrival of the cyclist on the road caused confusion with the hit men ... they apparently had poor surveillance on the road where the killing took place. As a result, they did not carefully check that all of their intended targets were dead. If this was an intelligence agency ... standards are really slipping out there. One alternate theory is that this was actually the work of mafia-style hit men. Maybe the victim had business problems and he had borrowed substantially from some mafia organization in the Middle East. Then he was unable to pay it back. That would explain the cold-blooded brutality of the murder. French and British police are taking this incident very seriously. Someone has got a lot of heat headed in their direction.
