Like you say it would be the same if this happened anywhere - down a country lane - so easy for the attacker to get away fast in a vehicle - leaving no evidence... the News people are certainly really milking it and it's on every channel a lot of the time.:hidewall:

I'm not so sure. Previous attacks on symbols of the decadent West have been far less accurate eg use of Kalashnikovs, grenades, bomb etc. plus if there were any political mileage made or warning to be given would some organisation have not laid claim to it by now?
