According to the talkin heads they are dead-the terrorists. They are tryin to figure out the WHY of it. You old time front line soldier types. Wouldn't what these guys did be considered a probe to see how they would react in a hostile situation? With all this news coverage showing HOW they showed up and WHAT they did after they arrived-the good guys-help the enemy better plan their next move to kill more people BEFORE they-the bad guys-are taken out? I seem to remember some of my friends that were in Nam talking about getting probed PRIOR to the kaka hitting the revolving air circulator. So basically that's my question-is this just a probe prior to a much larger under taking?? RIDE SAFE.
Bingo....we have a winner.

My thoughts exactly. They're probing for bigger things to come.
These guys where too eager to die. In both cases, they announced to the police that they're ready to be martyrs to their cause. They were suicide missions from the beginning.
