#5 Allah Akhbar! Google sources say that the bomber is an immigrant to Canada from Lebanon, and that he name is of Syrian origin. If he is a Shiite, then he could be a Hizbollah supporter. Cops are pointing to a personal motivation; a likely story.

#6 I am told the personal is political (thanks to grad school women's studies girlfriends).

#7 JihadWatch links to:
According to officials familiar with the case, Mohamed has been arrested previously in Egypt on terrorism-related charges. He is said to have produced an Internet video showing how to build a remote-controlled car bomb.

Guess the only criteria for entry of Arab students is cash on hand.

#12 From the Globe & Mail :

Mr. Arnaout's landlord, Mohammad Raja, said the accused man has been living at the property for about three months.

"He told me he was going to look for a security job," Mr. Raja said.

Although Mr. Raja's first impression of Mr. Arnaout was that "he looked like a very poor person," he agreed to rent him a room because Mr. Arnaout provided the requisite first and last month's rent.

Deputy Chief Warr said Mr. Arnaout is a landed immigrant and is of Lebanese descent. He said Mr. Arnaout is known to police but would not elaborate.

#14 "He told me he was going to look for a security job," Mr. Raja said.

Shit, the last link in the chain, he's a boomer, terminate him with extreme prejudice.

#15 In the bad old days cops rushed to judgement; now they rush to exhoneration. Tunnel vision won't win the GWOT. Mohammed's phone and internet records need to be probed.

#17 There's just ZERO mention of this on the BBC when I checked.

It's so Orwellian that a news service is more involved in hiding facts than actually publicising them.
