(Analyst's note: As we are now seeing, the details of this jihadist attack are leaking out. Soon we should begin to gain insight into his associations -- be they in-person or "virtual."

Army leadership apparently knew enough details, but political correctness caused them to hesitate or to not recognize them. We now see the results of their inaction.)

"She said, 'Dad, I'm OK. Don't worry, I'm OK.' And initially I said, 'What are you talking about?' She said, 'Haven't you heard?' And I said, 'No.' And she said, 'We've been attacked by terrorists,'" the father explained.
He told KSL News soldiers were sitting in a staging area for medical and dental checks when the group was startled by gunfire.
"A person behind counter stood up, and he said, 'Allah Akbar!' And just opened up on everybody," the father told us....
