Police have arrested a 42-year-old man on charges he tried to blow up a Boston Police cruiser Friday morning.

Boston Police Commissioner William Evans announced Sunday that police arrested Asim Kieta on arson, assault with intent to murder and other charges Saturday night in Charlestown.

Police said Kieta is homeless but is from the Dorchester area.

Investigators are now working on a possible motive.

"We're not clear on the motive," Evans said. "He has a lengthy criminal past. He's been in and out of jail.

The commissioner said police are trying to determine "whether there is a hatred for police because of his past behavior or whether this is some nexus to what is going on in the world as far as terrorism." "ex An officer was driving by the Boston Police substation on West Broadway in South Boston and saw a fire near a police cruiser Friday around 8:15 a.m., police said.

Police moved the cruiser and a device exploded. The device appeared to be a propane tank, but authorities are still working to determine the specific type of device used, Evans said.

We have a ‘Gitmo’ in Cuba . . . why not a ‘Get-Mo!’ for the rioters? That’s why most of them will be there because they tried to get mo! Shame that all those FEMA camps are going to waste.

Sounds like he put a propane tank in the fire. that could be anything down to torch-size. Once it heated up enough it would BLEVE.

Asim is very much an Arabic name.

Considering the guy is “homeless,” changing his status to “incarcerated” would be a real improvement!

I have no idea whether it is a Nation of Islam-based name, perhaps.

Explosive device + police car = Federal charges.The Rat Party AG of Massachusetts (one of the filthiest creatures to have ever drawn breath) cannot be trusted to handle this case correctly.

This is a case for Mr Sessions.

Sounds Chechen. In Arabic it would be Azim. Kieta sounds Slavic-influenced.

I wonder if this is one of Obola’s “refugees”?

Local TV was REALLY (/s) subtle about this:

(paraphrase) “Boston native Asim Kieta, who grew up in Dorchester, and lived here his entire life, and is a hometown boy, seems to have done this for unknown reasons ...”

Okay. He’s not a Syrian refugee. Got it. Still seems like a Muslim terrorist.
