DEVELOPING: The man in custody for carrying a backpack with "suspicious items and products" inside Arlington National Cemetery overnight is a U.S. Marine Corps reservist, military and law enforcement sources tell Fox News.
Yonathan Melaku, a Lance Corporal Marine corps reservist who lives in Virginia and who is Muslim, has been identified as the suspect in custody, Fox News has learned.
Sources close to the investigation also said a notebook believed to belong to the man was found containing threatening phrases like "Al Qaeda," "Taliban rule" and "defeated coalition forces."

And the police are completely compliant with this ‘not a terrorist’ meme.They were careful with the wording. They said he doesn't appear to be a member of a terrorist GROUP.

Sooner or later the military, as a matter of survival, is going to have to start profiling recruits. Lamentable, but that’s apparently the way it’s going to have to be.

I wonder if he is still Ethiopian? An earlier report said he was. Let’s see- there was a black man who was a Muslim convert who shot up a recruiting office in AR, IIRC.

It may be. This could be a test run. Who knows?
It's obvious this bastard needs to be booted out of the reserves, then the country, then be targeted by a Predator drone.

We are supposed to ignore the fact that he is a Muslim. Nothing to see here, move along.

Uh, you mean it's not possible to be a Marine Reservist?
Or a Lance Corporal?
Or what?
Please be more specific.

You can be "ethnically Ethiopian" and speak Amharic and still live in several different countries including Eritrea and Somalia.
We had some families around here for a while from all those countries. Although the heads of household had actually participated in wars against each of the other countries they regularly got together for barbeques and picnics.
(NOTE: These guys were all refugee military officers and their families who'd done various things for the CIA).
