maybe they were actually looking at the shooter, there could even have been more that one shooter, but no doubt ballistics will sort that out eventually

That's scraping the barrel a bit i reckon, its quite normal to me.

And to me cashy, my neighbour usually asks me to keep my eye on his gaffe while he's away, knowing I'm always in

It's the same with every incident they cover in which an investigation has to take it's course.

Well we all know the press have a motto "why let the truth get in the way of a good paper selling story"

Thats so true. Today they are claiming it's a possible family feud - over money!

I have read several news sites about this.

One told me something the others didn't.

It said that he had recently visited Iraq in order to try to reclaim the works premises that Saddam Hussain had confiscated.

If true - this could be the reason why someone wanted to kill him.

the more i read and think about this, based on current "evidence", i think it is going to go down as "failed carjacking"

What 'it goes down as' and 'what is really was' will not necessarily be the same.

churchfcrules · 07-09-2012, 12:32

sorry maragretR, i thought thats what i was saying using "that phrase",

but thats what i meant, anyway

the way they are spinning this, is what i was referring to

cashman · 07-09-2012, 12:38

Well they can't really say- We have no idea, it don't sell papers.

Well as today there have been 40 people killed in Iraq from terrorist bombings etc it would seem this French incident is possibly linked as some kind of revenge attack on someone who has become a British citizen and done well for himself, may have been seen as a example by some elements who resent US and British war against the country.

highlight the "evils" of the west, by killing someone, "who as done well for themselves"?

what point would that prove?, a warning to others not to "defect"?

Well there are obviously a hardcore of people in Iraq who are still angry about what happened, that their leader was taken out and so on. It's spite but that is how some people are!

They still seem to have little idea as to who is responsible. Not much of a shock yon, n that aint intended to knock the frogs, doubt very much if it happened anywhere.

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.
