Kat, also worth remembering Hesham Mohammed Ali Hadayet, the Egyptian shooter at the El Al ticket counter at LAX July 4, 2002. The authorities stated that they did not think the incident was terorrist related — even though it was itself an act of terrorism! And going back a bit, did the press even make a big deal about the fact that Robert Kennedy’s assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, was a Palestinian militant? Maybe the war on terrorism began in 1968.
