At approximately 10:30 a.m. on June 1, as two young U.S. soldiers stood in front of the Army Navy Career Center in west Little Rock, Ark., a black pickup pulled in front of the office and the driver opened fire on the two, killing one and critically wounding the other.
Eyewitnesses to the shooting immediately reported it to police, and authorities quickly located and arrested the suspect as he fled the scene. According to police, the suspect told the arresting officers that he had a bomb in his vehicle, but after an inspection by the police bomb squad, the only weapons police recovered from the vehicle were an SKS rifle and two pistols.
At a press conference, Little Rock Police Chief Stuart Thomas identified the suspect as Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, a 23-year-old African-American man who had changed his name from Carlos Leon Bledsoe after converting to Islam. In Arabic, the word mujahid is the singular form of mujahideen, and it literally means one who engages in jihad. Although Mujahid is not an uncommon Muslim name, it is quite telling that a convert to Islam would choose such a name — one who engages in jihad — to define his new identity. Muhammad was originally from Memphis, Tenn., but according to news reports was living and working in Little Rock.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
Heartbreaking.
I thought that muhammad was from Iran and presently living in the bottom of a well somewhere.
You've mistaken Muhammed with the "Mahdi" who will appear when Ah-mahdi-nejad starts a world war which will cause the Mahdi to appear and bring peace(pieces) to the world.
I don’t think this guy was a lone wolf. How could an oaf like this have found his way to Yemen? How could he have got his hands on a Somali passport? How did he afford a 30K SUV? How did he get three weapons, one of them an automatic rifle? There will be more to this story, unless the OBAMA FBI/OBAMA MSM decide to bury it for fear the truth would “damage our relations with the Muslim world.”
An automatic rifle? Sir, I beg you use the appropriate terms when discussing firearms or do not discuss them at all...
I do agree this is not a “lone wolf” incident...
Where pray tell did he obtain religious instructions? Doesn’t he have to get down on a prayer rug and submit to his angry and arbritrary small g god somewhere?
