There was a thread on this back in January but didn't really get any discussion since the details weren't released until this week.

Two were directly involved in the attack and died in it (blew themselves up), while the third (Yoon) was arrested last year in a neighboring country and is currently locked up on terrorism charges there, and thus, did not participate in the attack. He went over to Africa with the other 2, and I'd bet a lot of money he would have been with them, had he not been arrested.

I think a lot of people are struggling with this one since it was essentially just 3 high-school buddies, 2 of which were Christian and converted to Muslim due to the third friend. They look like everyone I went to highschool with, and not your stereotypical terrorist every thinks of.

I am not awaiting the discussion that occurs once the arrested party is released and wants to return to Canada.
