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?

Err just maybe because its news

Ya E & C terrorist are not usually bothered about people knowing who did the act, in fact they make a point of taking credit for it, whereas this incident very few clues were left and the ones killed were shot twice in the head execution style, there could even have been more than one person involved in the killings

Well what's happening today is the Bomb Squad have cordoned the house and neighbours houses in Claygate Surrey - as suspicious objects have been found? So more room for speculation!

I think it was on Saturday one news reporter said the girl found outside the car had been shot with a shotgun. Up to that point the claim was only an automatic hand-gun was used!

They've now said that all the shots came from one gun

They said that before this guy mentioned a shot gun! Perhaps his own mistake?
