"upset" by Israel's Operation Protective Edge, according to a friend of his who was anonymously interviewed by Rooters on Saturday.

#2 Any reports on the weapons used? I'm wondering if one was full auto? It might interfere with the lone wolf scenario.

#3 Shoebat reports that the family, which seems to have been West Bank Palestinians that moved to Jordan, changed its name from al-Hajjaj, apparently after moving to the USA. Under what program the family was allowed to immigrate to the USA has still not been disclosed.

#7 Its Prophet's lost souls are so testy,
Its damned camels' noses so pesky,
Its conquests and slaving,
Its incessant raving...
Mohammedanism upsets me.
