You make these morons sound like characters from a Jason Bourne movie.
The guys who carried out the attack on Saturday asked a neighbor
on Saturday where to rent a van. Then rented a van. And they owned knives. High intelligence, military knowledge/training and fluency in multiple languages didn't have anything to do with it. All you need is motivation/fanaticism to do this kind of thing.
Maybe that makes it even scarier.
EDIT: and yeah I get that some of these attacks are carefully planned out and need the smarts of someone who isn't just a religious fanatic, but considering the crude way they are pulled off lately, it doesn't take a genius.
