Former Bay Area resident killed in fiery crash at Travis AFB's main gate identified
2018-03-24
More information about this story from yesterday.
[ABC7news] Officials said a 51-year-old former Bay Area resident who drove a flaming minivan loaded with propane tanks and gasoline cans through the main gate at Travis AFB has been identified.

Authorities extracted a video from his cell phone and are analyzing it to try and see if it could help point to a motive. Sources wouldn't offer any details about the video.

During a presser Friday, officials said the driver had no known links to terrorism.

FBI agent Sean Ragan said Hafiz Kazi was found dead inside the Kia minivan Wednesday evening shortly after rolling slowly through the main gate of Travis Air Force Base and crashing.

Ragan said five propane tanks, three one-gallon size gas cans and several lighters were found in the van along with three phones and a gym bag with "personal effects."

Ragan said "we don't have any nexus to terrorism at this point," but Sherlocks haven't determined a motive.

"Why did this individual end up at the front gate of Travis Air Force Base on fire, that's something we want to know, and the public wants to know," Ragan said.

Ragan said Kazi lived throughout the the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
Bay Area and has lived in the United States since 1993. He said Kazi is a native of India who was a permanent legal resident of the United States.

Ragan said they have been unable to find any of Kazi's family living in the United States. A family member in India has been notified of Kazi's death, Ragan said. He said Kazi appeared to work as a cab driver in the past, but that Sherlocks haven't determined if he was currently employed.

"There is no evidence of religious affiliation," Ragan said. "As of right now, we know of no other associates."

#6  The Daily Mail has photos, but no additional information beyond this:

His body so charred that he had to be identified by fingerprints.

But why did he have three cell phones with him?

#5  Man, 51, who launched 'suicide attack on California Air Force base' and plowed his fiery minivan laden with propane into the gates was NOT a terrorist say authorities

#3  A Muslim with no know ties to Muhammad's Islamic Jihad terrorism. Nonstarter BS hot air blow.

Revert the statement to a WWII news flash, Nazi with no known ties to Hitler. Right.

#2  Sure, sure. So evidently it is commonplace for California non-terrorist residents to drive around with five propane tanks, three gas cans (assuming full gas cans), and several lighters in their vehicles.

He got his wish and went out with a bang. Glad no one else got hurt.
