OK, let's put this topic on the backburner for awhile, until more concrete information emerges. What we have now is a reported assault, with attendant cuts and bruises, in a highly charged political environment, and motives on all sides being attributed by the world at large.

All we here at the Org can do is speculate and extrapolate from that speculation - an interesting pastime, to be sure - but one that, experience shows, makes us focus more on each other than on the meat of the issue.

Therefore: temporarily closed for comment until the story develops further. Thanks to all contributors
