| WaPo: Did Cho Make Dry Run at Va. Tech? [+ interesting item] |
| 2007-08-11 |
| An update on the investigation, but the best part is at the end : Excerpt: Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, who assembled a sketch of Cho that they say fits that profile, also think Cho mentally and physically tried to transform himself into an alter ego he called "Ax Ishmael" before his rampage. The words "Ax Ishmael" were scrawled in red on Cho's left arm when his body was found in a Norris Hall classroom. Federal investigators said the term is based on the biblical figure Ishmael, the son of the prophet Abraham and Hagar, a maidservant to his wife. "That release of information was not authorized by the investigative team," Flaherty said, adding that police do not know what, if any, significance "Ax Ishmael" might have in explaining Cho's actions. Emphasis added. Note the non-denial denial. |
