Mike,

I'm sorry but I don't see how the media is showing this as the opposition waging a war on the (western) expats.

Do I think they are? no, they have no reason to do so, if anything they are trying to win those same people over to their side.

Is there any sort of systamatic attack on expats by the opposition? as we have witnessed for the past year, yes, but on asian immagrants, particularly ones from countries the likes of India, Pakistan, etc.

What's the reason behind this particular attack? That, we don't know, maybe he said something that upset them, maybe it was just robbery, maybe it wasn't the opposition in the first place (though it was in one of their areas as someone mentioned above).

One thing I know for sure is that people shouldn't panic and generalize. If I went to the states and somebody beat me up and called me a "camel riding diaper head" I wouldn't flee the country and say that they're all out to get me.
