How do we know that Al-Queda attacks have increased, when they never claim responsibility? Could it just be that any time anything happens, people say "terrorists did it" -- like you're doing in this case?
There have been people have have randomly shot people before. It didn't get the press because he wasn't as successful and continued, and the country wasn't in a climate obsessed with terrorism.
Yes, this person is causing terror, but Bin Laden didn't say, "Hey Wassim, go out to Maryland and kill 10 random hick Americans over the span of two weeks. This will really convince the infidels that Allah is more powerful, blah blah blah".
They can certainly cause more death, more terror, more chaos, and worry thousands of other ways if they had the people and plan in this country to do so.
They're not going to waste this guy getting caught, spilling the beans on who he's consorting with for a dozen dead Americans.
Think.
