U svom napisu u magazinu Time, Anastasijević je ukazao na to da je napad bio povezan s njegovim nedavnim pojavljivanjem na TV-u, u kom je govorio o srebreničkom masakru i o presudi koju je izrekao beogradski sud četvorici pripadnika Škorpiona koji se vide na snimku pogubljenja.
Writing in Time magazine, Anastasijevic suggested that the attack was connected to a recent TV appearance in which he discussed the Srebrenica massacre and the verdict handed down by a Belgrade court against four Scorpions members seen in the execution video.
