Ciancia Named Suspect in LAX Killing of TSA Agent; Cianan Is Name of JFK Suspect

Ciancia allegedly has "strong anti-government views," reported NBC's Pete Williams. This assessment was determined by the "anti-goverment materials" in his possession when he was captured. The AP noted Ciancia, who was dressed in military-style fatigues, carried a handwritten note that said he "wanted to kill TSA and pigs." Source.

Minutes after a TSA agent was allegedly shoot and killed at LAX at Terminal 3, an "expert" - a former FBI agent - on CNN was telling the television viewing audience this incident was a "lone-wolf" attack. How can anyone say such things so early when they didn't even know if the shooter was alive or dead? Was TSA or not?

Another seemingly random event has happened. Another suspect in custody. Or another suspect dead. Another group of people injured in a shooting and, at least, one person has been killed. Reports in the beginning were so confusing.

Earlier reports that a suspect was taken into custody at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday, November 1, 2013, are incorrect. This supposedly occurred after a shooting at a Terminal 3 checkpoint left a TSA employee injured, one killed, and has produced "mutiple victims."

"Suspect is now in custody. Multiple victims," LAX officials said in a tweet.

One update end stated, "Law enforcement sources told the Los Angeles Times that the gunman was a Transportation Security Administration employee at LAX. The gunman was killed by authorities after he opened fire Friday morning. He allegedly shot and killed a fellow TSA employee."

LAPD Assistant Chief Earl Paysinger says the suspect, who was armed with a semi-automatic rifle, was apparently injured in an exchange of gunfire.

CNN reports that the gunman approached a checkpoint at the terminal and opened fire. Airport officials said the incident began at 9:30 a.m. PT.

Finally, late on Friday, the suspect in the shooting at Los Angeles International Airport was identified as Paul Anthony Ciancia, a 23-year-old from Los Angeles, the FBI said.

Ciancia is an Italian word that means, literally, "gossip" or "tittle tattle."

He allegedly used an AR-15.

Investigators found materials and information on the suspect expressing anti-federal government sentiment and anger at the Transportation Security Administration, a federal law enforcement official said. A TSA officer was killed in the shooting.

The suspected gunman was detained after being shot in the chest multiple times, according to an intelligence source briefed by Los Angeles police.

Airport attackers' name game?

So, what are synchromystic chances of this happening?

The alleged November 1st LAX shooter's name is Paul Anthony Ciancia.

The alleged October 26th JFK gunman's name is Keenan Draughon, with Keenan being another form of Cianán.

LAX: Dry Ice Bombs

Los Angeles International Airport police reported on October 15, 2013, that two dry ice bombs exploded and two others were found in a restricted area of the airport. No terrorism is associated with the four bombs, according to law enforcement officials. How this was determined is unknown.

“The focus is definitely in the restricted area, not in the areas where passengers have access,” said Sgt. Karla Ortiz. “We want to make sure that that get’s tightened up.”

No one was injured in the explosions -- one Sunday night in an employee bathroom, one Monday night on the airfield near the planes. The incidents are being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department’s criminal conspiracy division, Ortiz said.

The latest explosion occurred about 8:30 p.m. Monday near the gate area of the Tom Bradley International Terminal.

The iconic terminal art of LAX is known worldwide.

Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide, and a bomb is constructed with the dry ice and a sealed bottle.

The LA Times said 

...the devices -- bottles with dry ice inside -- appeared to be outside the terminal near planes where employees such as baggage handlers and others work on the aircraft and its cargo.
Airport officials will remind employees that “if you see something, say something,” Ortiz said.
“We can’t be everywhere all the time so we depend on them,” she said.The FBI was assisting the LAPD in the investigation into how the devices were placed in restricted areas at LAX.
There was minimal disruption of airport activities on Monday night, but the explosion on Sunday suspended operations in Terminal 2, and flights were delayed until about 8:45 p.m. as the LAPD bomb squad responded. Police estimated that about four flights were affected.
Passenger Feliciano Jiron told KCBS-TV on Monday before the second explosion that he was concerned that a dry ice bomb could be set at the airport, given all of LAX's security measures.

It will be recalled that the terminal was the target of a terrorist attempt when Al-Qaeda attempted to bomb LAX on New Year's Eve 1999/2000. The bomber, Algerian Ahmed Ressam, was captured in Port Angeles, Washington, the U.S. port of entry, with a cache of explosives that could have produced a blast 40x greater than that of a devastating car bomb hidden in the trunk of the rented car in which he had traveled from Canada. He had planned to leave one or two suitcases filled with explosives in an LAX passenger waiting area. He was initially sentenced to 22 years in prison, but in February 2010 an appellate court ordered that his sentence be extended.

Meanwhile, a magnitude-7.2 earthquake struck in the central Philippines on Tuesday morning, killing over 100 people and severely damaging some of the country's most hallowed churches. The quake damaged and collapsed major buildings in Cebu City, a heavily populated commercial center in the central Philippines. Also, a 5.0 earthquake shook 44km SE of Jorochito, Bolivia, on October 15, at 16:15. A 4.8 earthquake hit 17km WSW of Nereju, Romania, on October 15, at 22:33. A 6.4 earthquake occurred near Crete on Saturday, and several aftershocks were felt from Crete to Israel in the following days.
