The FBI has launched a terror probe into a weekend stabbing in Virginia — which may have been an ISIS-inspired beheading attempt, according to a report.

Wasil Farooqui of Roanoke County allegedly stabbed a man and a woman with a knife Saturday evening as they were entering an apartment building in Roanoke, police said.

Authorities believe Farooqui, 20, may have been trying to decapitate the male victim, whom he likely targeted at random at The Pines Apartments, sources told ABC News.

He shouted “Allahu akbar” — Arabic for “God is great” — during the assault, but was fought off by the man, officials said.

I hate “Allah” being translated to God! Allah is Allah - Moslem’s own equivalent of everyone else’s “God”.

And yet, latest polls show Hillary is ahead in Virginia. Talk about the power of media indoctrination. The Old Dominion ought to change its State motto from Virginia is for Lovers to Virginia is for Jihadists.

The ABC article on Drudge said FBI was aware of him...

“Federal authorities have been aware of the alleged attacker, 20-year-old Wasil Farooqui of the Roanoke area, for some time, sources familiar with the case told ABC News. In the past year, sources said, he traveled to Turkey and may have tried to sneak into Syria, where ISIS is recruiting and inspiring sympathizers from around the world.]”

Why is it FBI always seems to be aware but they never seem to stop them...
