After 90 minutes of waiting, he realized that he was not being actively sought; he then drove back to his Reston apartment.[1] At the time, reports said police were looking for a white male in his twenties and that the shooting was not thought to be directly connected to the CIA.[12] He hid the rifle in a green plastic bag under a sofa, went to a McDonald's to eat, and booked himself into a Days Inn for the night. The CNN news reports he watched made it clear that police had misidentified his vehicle and did not have his license plate number.[3] The next morning, he took a flight to Quetta, Pakistan. According to Kansi, he killed CIA employees because, "I was really angry with the policy of the U.S. government in the Middle East, particularly toward the Palestinian people," Kansi said in a prison interview with CNN affiliate WTTG.[13]
