re: #381 Killgore Trout
I was thinking it might be the Swedish al Qaeda guy that was in the news last month. Either way, he does look like a Westerner.
I’m not going to speculate on the nationality of the suicide bomber, but I’ve met Iranians who could easily pass for Russians/Ukrainians (blonde hair, blue eyes, Slavic features), Irish (red hair, green eyes, freckles), or any number of other ethnicities (like the Turkmen). I’ve also met Latinos, Italians, etc. who could easily pass for Middle Eastern. Appearances can be deceiving.
