Professional hit in the Alps - why?

[Magda Hassan]

Odd that forensics have been all over the place since last week and only just now they have the bomb squad in.....wonder when they removed the bugs and other surveillance equipment?

British army bomb disposal experts have left the home of a family killed in the French Alps after examining a number of suspicious items.Police earlier evacuated neighbouring homes and cordoned off two roads while the bomb squad checked the house Saad al-Hilli in Claygate, Surrey, south-west of London.
Police said the experts were called in "due to concerns around items found at the address" and added that an "assessment of items found at the address is currently being carried out as a precaution".
But after nearly three hours the Royal Logistics Corps bomb disposal van left the scene along with another police vehicle and police reopened the road, according to an agency photographer who was at the scene.
A Surrey Police spokeswoman said they would issue a statement later but had no immediate details on the results of the search.
British media reports said the search focused on a shed at the bottom of the garden.
Saad al-Hilli, a 50-year-old naturalised Briton born in Iraq, his wife Ikbal and his 74-year-old mother-in-law were shot dead in a forest car park in an alpine tourist area near Annecy in south-east France last week.
A cyclist passing by at the time of the shooting was also shot dead.
The elder of two child survivors of the shooting remained under sedation, unable to speak to investigators hoping she could help them unravel the mystery surrounding the attack.
Zainab al-Hilli, 7, is recovering from a fractured skull and a bullet wound in the shoulder.
"When the doctors give us authorisation we will be able to interview her in hospital, but for the moment they are not allowing it," Annecy prosecutor Eric Maillaud said.
"She was in an induced coma which she was brought out of on Sunday but she remains under sedation. It is a normal process."
With apparently little headway being made in the hunt for the killer or killers, Zainab's potential testimony has taken on enormous importance for detectives probing the quadruple murder on either side of the English Channel.
Her four-year-old sister Zeena survived the attack unscathed after hiding in the back of the family car but has not been able to provide any significant information about what happened.
