They had no money, and took an ATM card from the guy they carjacked, just to get $800 from an ATM.

They were NOT part of a well-financed foreign influx of terrorists.

This was not some sort of a well thought out plan. When they had been identified on camera, they panicked, took all their weapons and bombs and tried to run, committing a carjacking and run on ATM's to get the money to finance the run.

Smart terrorists have an escape plan that is not this crazy. They have associates and can hide from police, not hang out for days after just literally two miles away from their crime scene in a major city where they are already known, where they are licensed drivers, where they went to school and college.

Unlikely but possible, there may be one or two more of these crazed fanatics, outliers somewhere in America, but let's hope they never act. The example of these two may serve as a great deterrent to any few others that might be out there.
