Tracking back to who supplied them and how they were intercepted will be revealing...maybe, if they let it.

Disgusting terrorist bastards though. The usual thought experiment applies in spades here: imagine any official enemy (Al Quaida say) doing this to American politicians or service members. The sky would be falling and it would be the worst atrocity since 9/11 but when it's the apartheid state? Ooooh, aren't they clever?
