| Recruiting center shooter confesses to previous 'jihad operation' In Nashville | |
| 2011-04-14 | |
| The man awaiting trial in the death of a soldier and the wounding of another in Arkansas almost two years ago wrote to a judge that he had killed a Nashville man in 2006 as well. Abdulhakim Muhammad, whose birth name is Carlos Bledsoe, took responsibility for gunning someone down in East Nashville five years ago in a letter written to Circuit Judge Herb Wright.
"We don't know what his motives are, so we would like (Muhammad) to give the details,'' said spokeswoman Kristin Mumford. "We may have a case in mind, but what if he is taking credit for a murder he really didn't commit?'' Muhammad called his letter to the judge "A Confession Letter.'' He describes the Tennessee shooting as his first "jihad operation.'' The letter didn't include a victim's name, a date or the precise location of the shooting. Muhammad claims that the victim was targeted because he "robbed and terrorized elderly Muslims and Muslim women at gunpoint.'' The confession says the victim was shot several times with a Chinese model AK-47 that belonged to Muhammad. Muhammad is awaiting trial in Arkansas in the deaths of Pvt. William Long and wounded Pvt. Quinton Ezeagwula at a military recruiting station in June 2009. Muhammad has said the shooting was in response to U.S. military action in the Middle East. According to previous reports, Muhammad has wanted to plead guilty, which is not allowed in Arkansas for death penalty cases. | |
