More Spontaneous Jihad?

Editor's Note: The following report was based on information that was wrong. The identity of the shooter was misreported on other sites. The motivation for the attack has not been released.    Could the Idaho shooting have been an act of Islamist terrorism? According to some early reports, the attacker is the son of a Muslim refugee from Bosnia, who emigrated to America and became a police officer. These postings go on to indicate that the alleged gunman developed recent interest in his Bosnian heritage and in Communism. The shooter had apparently expressed support for "Palestine" after the October 7, 2023 invasion of Israel and sympathy for Iran since strikes by American forces began against the mullah regime. It is too early to label the shooting a jihadist event, but that cannot be ruled out.
