Perpetrator Of 2016 Attack At Ohio State Acted Alone: FBI
2017-12-01
[RADIOSHABELLE] A Somali immigrant who maimed 11 people in a car and knife attack at Ohio State University a year ago was influenced by the ideology of Lion of Islam group Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
but had no outside help in planning the violence, the FBI said on Wednesday.

Abdul Razak Ali Artan, 20, on Nov. 28, 2016, plowed into pedestrians with a car and then exited the vehicle to stab other victims, before a police officer at the campus shot him.

Artan, who was born in Somalia and became a lawful permanent U.S. resident, was pronounced dead at the scene in Columbus, the state capital.

Islamic State a day later grabbed credit for Artan’s actions. The Federal Bureau of Investigation initially said Artan appeared to have been inspired by the group, but the agency at the time said it had found no evidence others were involved in planning the attack.

After a year-long investigation, the FBI said on Wednesday it had confirmed its initial assessment.

"The evidence from the extensive investigation indicates the perpetrator acted alone and was not directed by a terrorist organization," the FBI statement said, adding that the agency’s investigation was complete.

#7  "The evidence from the extensive investigation indicates the perpetrator acted alone...."

"And we really didn't look anywhere else very hard. We already had the narrative down pat, so why re-invent the wheel?"

#6  Sure, and the Las Vegas coverup happened because of one man.

#5  Yes, g(r)om, one abortion clinic bombed or burned and all fundamental (ie non-progressive) Christians are blamed.

#4  Right. Except every single Islamic fundamentalist in his mosque has his back.

Piece of pork be upon him.

#3  Muslims always act alone - it are Jews (and maybe, nowadays, Christians) who are involved in World-wide conspiracies.

#1  So they don't need any help. They can do it all by themselves. That's comforting. Among other things, by not communicating with Higher, they don't leave tracks.
They just stew in their own juice of Islam.
