Yes would be interesting. I did see photos of him identified as a Muslim and the irony of him being the first victim. (was he? Was he shot on the way in to the building or the way out?) His name is out there some where but I can't recall it just now.

I say this only because we only have the authorities word for it that they are one and the same, and the disparity in the military professionalism in the attack itself followed by the complete clumsiness in the scape continues to niggle at me.
Yours in cynicism.
I have wondered this also. There seems to be like 2 stages to the event. The first one was swift and highly organised and calm. The second was a fiasco of misplaced IDs, unprepared getaway making it up as they went along lurching from one landmark to another blowing their cover. Ultimately cornered and no way out. They could have lived to fight another day if they had done it right.
