This is the biggest question for me.

"Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, a 21-year-old from the Denver suburb of Arvada, was linked to another individual under investigation by the bureau, The New York Times reported Tuesday, citing law enforcement officials. No further details were reported."

Has anyone heard anything more about this angle? It is my guess that he was popping up on some type of Extremist website or network, but again, that is just a guess. The real question is whether he should have been on some type of watch list or not.

It seems what we will find out is that he has some type of mental illness and was taken into the fold by an extremist group, that motivated or somehow made him think that his actions were a good idea. One has to wonder if there were signs out there that were ignored. The biggest being that he bought the gun in the first place, which obviously some people in his family knew about and did not take action in regards to it.
