I think it was a diversion, so that they could take him through the back entrance where Anna would be waiting.

But she would have been at the meeting anyway. I didn't see the necessity in a diversion.

Perhaps so there would be a fall guy (re JFK/Lee Harvey Oswald)

OK so Lighthouse dies in an explosion and not by sniper fire, so not very neat but at least it demonstrates supposed
intention on the part of an Islamic group to do it.

Anna might want the president dead but wouldn’t want Israel blamed for it.

But agree with Tea Lady sniper would be the first choice.
