Terrorists strike in America's heartland

[elfs]

This is not a drill:

Police were looking for a blue Ford Taurus with a Kansas State vanity plate, license number 225 BAB. Police described him as a white male in his 50s or 60s, 6 feet 1 inch tall, 220 pounds, wearing a white shirt and dark pants.

The man is wanted in the death of Dr. George Tiller, a Kansas man who became one of the most famous figures in the national debate over abortion, who was shot and killed at his church Sunday morning, KAKE-TV reported.

It's virtually certain that he was killed because he was a "notorious" abortion provider.

Which makes it a murder (assassination!) intended to scare other abortion providers.

A murder or other attack on a member of a group, especially a prominent member) with the intent (primary or secondary) of terrifying the rest of the group is the very *essence* of terrorism.
