Mohammed Reza Taheriazar, lone jihadist
New details from ABC 11 in Raleigh, N.C., about the Muslim man who plowed into students on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus today:
The driver of an SUV that plowed into a group of pedestrians at UNC-Chapel Hill on Friday told police it was retribution for the treatment of Muslims around the world, according to ABC News.
It happened around noon Friday in front of Lenoir Hall on the campus, in a common area known as the Pit. Paramedics took six people to UNC Hospitals. Five had been released by Friday evening and the sixth was not expected to be admitted.
Officials say none of the people were seriously injured. Three refused treatment at the scene.
Chapel Hill police say they arrested the suspect, Mohammed Reza Taheriazar, 23, of Chapel Hill, shortly after the incident. Several witnesses were able to give police the rented Jeep Cherokee's license plate number.
Police said they would charge Taheriazar, a psychology major who graduated from UNC last semester, with several counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.
...Sources say Taheriazar told police he was seeking retribution for the treatment of Muslims around the world, according to ABC News justice correspondent Pierre Thomas. Taheriazar apparently told police he tried to rent the biggest SUV he could find to use in the attack.
By Friday afternoon, a police SWAT team had surrounded a Carrboro apartment complex where Taheriazar reportedly lived.
Taheriazar is a native of Iran and a December 2005 UNC graduate, according to the Raleigh News and Observer.
Bob Owens is updating the story.
Michelle Malkin Ping!
((((ping))))
"...a psychology major..."
Once again, my observation that the psych majors are teh crazy ones on campus seems to be confirmed.
It looks like Al Gore incited him, but Gore must be upset that he used an SUV.
NC ping
I'm sure Huffington will simply blame it on the SUV.
Fry his JIHADIST BUTT.
At some point, the Mullahs are going to get their wish and these independent Jihad cruise missiles are going to start going off all over...and then they will see what real retribution is. At that point, they will be bringing about the destruction of their entire Islamo-fascist culture.
Sorry...but if there are too many more of this type of idiot around, they are going to unleash an absolute hell on themselves.
Wow, that poor kid. That evil SUV must have framed him. :P

And regular psychologists make everyone else crazy. Why do suppose most liberal socialists are so crazy? It's their weekly visits to the psycho, er, the couch.
The richness of diversity.
Perhaps you're just pointing me to that, but as I said, this is just an update (not a dup). I've been watching the other threads and Michelle just posted this one.
Worst terrorist ever? At least guys who accidently blow themselves up had bigger plans in store. This guy is going to jail for a long time for causing scrapes and bruises.
Personally I think we could solve a lot of problems with a single W-88 dialed up to about 250 kilotons, but that's just me.

All my life I've noticed the little 2" newspaper notes describing a Muslim somewhere on the globe going on a one man killing spree, usually with a machete, except in rare cases where he might be a cop with a handgun or something. Some people here can ask their grand fathers about military duty in the Philippines in the 30s and 40s, my point is we will begin to see these attacks by individuals in a random, violent final act more often. Mass Murder, it's not just for the post office any more.
Thanks for that - I hadn't yet seen a posting mentioning the "retribution for the treatment of Muslims" bit, and now I see I'm not the first. Sigh...
