ATLANTA — Friends say a Georgia Tech graduate student is in critical condition after an apartment fire off 10th Street in midtown.

Atlanta police told Channel 2’s Erica Byfield that Saamar Akhshabi was burned from an incendiary device in the incident.

WSBTV.com reported the explosion as breaking news Tuesday just after 8:30 p.m. When investigators arrived on scene they found the international student with severe burns to his hands, arms and chest.

You know it would be interesting if he ended up burning about 50 people alive if liberals would call for a gas ban. Probably not because owning gas is not a constitutional right.

Payback sucks.

Better him than his intended victims.

He needed to know what it feels like and what he’s doing to others.

[Gaffer]

Frankly, that school is ate up with foreigners like this. Much more so than regular citizen Americans.

[metmom]

Authorities said he had third-degree burns on 90 percent of his body.

Then most likely, he's a goner.

Sad to say, I am not feeling sorry for him one bit.

THAT is what he intended to do to others.

[metmom]

Not long based on this incident.....

[null and void]

It is sad.

I would like him to live a long life, filled with telling investigators every detail of his contacts and orders.

He’s suffering plenty right now.

I could wish him a long life.

Allah fireball is more like it.

[SECURE AMERICA]

He is an International student? So he is from International?

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

From the article, “.... third-degree burns on 90 percent of his body.”

90% only gets him an 'A'. He shoulda have tried for an 'A+' (100%).

Yes...they come to “study” the vulnerabilities of our infrastructure.

[Sir Napsalot]

Thanks for the info.

[Slings and Arrows]

Either way, as long as the meet shortly.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

More like a Darwin candidate! ha.

In the news today at the White House, Press Secretary Carney reported the President as saying that, “If I had a son, he would be just like Saamar.”

[Mastador1]

dontcha just hate when that happens ???

I bet he wishes he had been smoking an e-cigarette!

[FreeAtlanta]

I heard about it briefly, then nothing. I would love to know if stories like this are shut down by threats or voluntarily.

anyway, he was probably just conducting peaceful research. Being a member of the religion of peace and everything.

I wonder what set it off. Static electricity perhaps?
