American Islamic Convert Returned from Yemen Murders Soldier in AK

Update: He sought to go to Dammaj to study with Hajoree. (The six Americans arrested in 2008 were coming from Saada to Sanaa when they were arrested but were supposed to go to Maber). He was arrested in Yemen for using a Somali passport.

Its a good idea to keep an eye on anyone who changes their name from Carlos to Mujahid.
The article would be more accurate if it said, “The suspect is a subscriber to the radical jihaddist ideology which advocates the murder of non-believers, converts and those who transgress their interpretation of Shaira law.”

Little Rock, AR – A man opens fire on two soldiers at a military recruiting office in little rock this morning, killing one and injuring the other. It happened outside the army navy career center on Rodney Parham just after 10 o’clock Monday morning.
The suspect is 23-year old Abdul hakim Mujahid Muhammad and is behind bars at the Pulaski County Jail. Police say it appears he targeted military members because of his political and religious beliefs. Authorities have told ABC News, Muhammed had just returned from Yemen and was already the subject of an FBI investigation.

How sad and telling.

ABC According to sources, the suspect advised them that he was going to kill as many Army personnel as possible. At the time of the shooting, the subject had approximately 200 rounds of ammunition available, police said.

According to a police report, Muhammad told police he saw two uniformed U.S. soldiers in front of the recruiting office before he shot and killed Pvt. William Long, 23, and wounded Pvt. Quinton Ezeagwula, 18, while they were taking a break outside the U.S. Army recruiting station where they both worked.

Thanks to all who sent this in.

I,am not surprised for such terrorist act,it came as a result of some Islamic extremist groups called (Salafis) who are living and working in different states such as New York,Michigan and Indiana as well as other states .This people living in a very closed social atmosphere as i heard from one of arabic working in a grocery store,for them even their muslim fellows who are disagree with them in some points of misinterpretation of the real Islam ,for them this people are infidels and deserve to isolated and may be murdered ,they receive their islamic education through books,cassets,videos and through phone letures from some of the muslim clerk in Saudi arabia and Yemen,they have too many schools in yemen to where they send people from everywhere in the world including the united states ,they recruit young people,especially yemenis from different states to go and study salafism in Yemen where they get all different facilities and support from hundreds of salafis organizations in the country as well as from the yemeni government represented by the political security aparatus and other governement agencies ,they are also receive military training and sometimes fight with the government against Haothis as well as using them in the usa and in yemen against what they call the (southern separatists),i believe this people are very extremists and dangerous and the U.S.A needs to whatch these people and their suspected activities and put pressure on Yemeni Governement and Saudi Arabia to stop cooperating with them,especially the Yemeni Government,otherwise we more terrorists not only in the United States,but in many countries.Saudi Arabia should make certain change to Wahabis and Salafis Ideology ,put more pressure on its clerks who were the main interpreters of the Wahabism and now the Salafism.Yemeni govrnment should stop playing in fire through its cooperation with these groups and using them for political reasons against its opponents in bothsides ,the North and the South,because they are also have their political objectives behind cooperating with the governement ,they are expanding the activities and influence in everywhere in the country,especially the North where the majority of the people have no good education and most are poor and easy to recruit them ,Afghanistn and Pakistan are the best example.
