#1 A local citizen called in the tip to U.S. Special Forces to report the impending attack.

#3 Consider this from the point of view of the citizen: he phones in a hot tip of the setup for an attack. The response has to happen fast, before the bad guyz execute, so a few minutes later, our citizen hears a boom, sees smoke and flames, and imagines terrorists being ushered to Islamic hell.

Heck, that's gotta feel so heady, he's gonna do it again for sure...
