Sure ISIS is actively fighting a war in Syria and Iraq, but the perpetrators if crimes like this can be anywhere. They come from all over the globe. There are some common traits of people attracted to this cause. They are generally unsuccessful in their life's endeavors, they don't fit in, and they've never held a girl's hand. They want to be part of something. As bfine said, there was probably no fatwa to commit this act, but this ***** took it upon himself to do it in the name of God and the caliphate. It's really hard to stop that. It's hard to profile those people til after the fact.

Last report I saw said he talked about being involved with ISIS and was investigated and found he was just being a blowhard.

Second time he had contact with someone who who ended up being a suicide bomber but they found it was a minimal contact.

Probably, as you say, WANTED to be part of something.  Strange what religion can make people do when they are weak and weak minded.
