I observe that, curiously enough, the attack happened on a *Friday*, the Muslim 'holy' day.
If I were the cop investigating the case, I would be trying to find out whether the murderer attends a mosque, and whether he had attended 'prayers' before going off to commit the murder.
There have been quite a lot of cases of 'sudden jihad syndrome'; I wonder what proportion of those, in the UK or Israel or the USA or Switzerland (yes, there have been such attacks in Switzerland, Muslims running amok with a weapon and killing random Infidels), took place on Fridays?

According to
http://www.wbng.com/news/local/78596202.html
Antoun was a past president of MESA.
His c.v. states he was elected President of MESA in November 1981 and he seems to have served until at least 1983.
Hmm. It will be interesting to see how MESA reports this murder.

The perpetrator may have been mentally unstable, helped along by inculcated attitudes from, and tenets of, islam.
