Terrorism
Police in Little Rock, Arkansas have released more information about the murder of one American soldier and wounding of another outside an Army recruiting station.
“At this point,” LRPD Chief Stuart Thomas said, “we believe that it’s associated with his disagreement over military operations. We believe that primarily it is a religious disagreement, and that he has a dislike for military personnel and military actions.”
“We have no indication that this individual did anything other than act alone, and of his own accord,” Thomas said. “It is our belief that he acted with specific intent to target military personel, and did so unilaterally and did so with intent today, and this day only.”
Unfortunately, Jihad Watch is reporting that the shooter studied jihad in Yemen.
I have learned from a well-placed source that Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, who killed one soldier and wounded another at a a Little Rock military recruiting center today, and who faces charges of terrorism as well as first-degree murder, has recently returned from Yemen, where he studied jihad with an Islamic scholar there.
Which means, of course, that this may not be a solitary act, after all. One hopes the police have not preemptively decided not to follow all leads in their investigations.

Too busy investigating pro-life groups for violent anti-gov’t nuts.

Interesting how the media is all over the court appearance of the scum that murdered Tiller but hardly a peep on the man who killed one of our soldiers.
