(08-29) 15:20 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- As many as 14 people were injured this afternoon by a motorist who drove around San Francisco running them down before he was arrested, authorities said.
Seven of those injured were in critical condition, police and firefighters said.
Authorities have identified the man who was arrested as Ohmeed Aziz Popal, who has an address in Ceres.
Authorities said they believe Popal was the same driver who ran over a 55-year-old man walking in a bicycle lane in Fremont, at Fremont Boulevard near Ferry Lane, just after noon. That victim died.
Popal was arrested at a Walgreens at Spruce and California streets.

That is the story of the muslim that shot up the Jewish Federation offices in Seattle a few weeks ago. And of no SUV to blame, so they blame the guns. (One of the victims said she "has no anger at Mr. Haq". The next sentence said how she sees this as why there needs to be more gun control!?)
I told my wife about this San Francisco thing. She said "they need to all be rounded up and put in internment camps". (This from a gal with many muslim friends and gives ME a hard type for being too "racist"!)
I said - that time might well come, but by then it will be too late, 'cuz it would only happen after something HUGE.
Remember Taraq Azziz, Saddam Hussein's foreign minister? Different spelling, but obviously the same tribal root for the name.
Yes, local reporting is that this guy ran onto the sidewalk in front of the Jewish Community Center.
Also, I may've misheard, and what I actually heard was that no connection was established yet to terrorism--but of course we don't quite know yet, and you can try fomenting terror without a formal connection to anything.
The See BS take-- the SUV "took aim".

smells like another lonewolf attack in America. The religion of peace sheds more innocent american blood on our own soil.

I saw that too, earlier today.
Do you know if Ahmed and Ohmeed
are interchangeable names, like Jack
and John is?
Not without a time machine. This jerkoff is 29; the one in Candada was 39 in 1998.
Prolly not. I fear we will become so inured to these types of lone terrorists (thanks to the friggin media and political opportunists) that the nation will die a 'death by a thousand cuts' before it realizes it does not have the will or strength to apply the ultimate solution. The religion of crap and those that practice it must be banished from the shores of America. Yesterday.
This guy got activated when he went back to Afghanistan...perhaps they are rolling up the Modesto cell as we speak....
They should cuff Gary Condit just for laughs while they are in Ceres

Update: Bookworm points to latest wire stories repeating relatives' claim that Popal had wedding jitters:
Relatives of a Fremont man connected to Tuesday's deadly driving rampage said he may have been distraught after returning recently from Afghanistan without his newlywed wife who iswaiting for a visa.
Omeed Aziz Popal, 29, who sources said was being held by the San Francisco police, was normally a kind and gentle person, said Hamid Nekrawesh, 43, a first cousin in Fremont.
But a recent trip to Afghanistan to participate in an arranged marriage could have caused him a lot of stress, Nekrawesh said.
``He was a very respectful, quiet, nice guy,'' Nekrawesh said. ``I've never seen him do anything violent.''
Zarghona Ramish of San Jose, who also identified herself as Popal's cousin, said he had been having strange dreams since returning a month ago from Afghanistan.

Islam attracts the mentally ill like s**t does flies. Radical religions and political movements are attractive to people who have low self-esteem and a poor self-images. It gives these people an excuse to act out their inner demons. It feeds their "monster." Islamists are telling Muslims all over the world that they are victims and they have the right to lash out at the world when they're frustrated. Islam is an enabler of evil.
WorldNetDaily.com: "1 Dead, 5 Hurt in Seattle Terror" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Haq's father was a founding member of the Islamic Centre of Tri-Cities in Richland. He and his wife moved to Pasco three years ago. According to Chris Richey of Everett, Haq had been his neighbor until two weeks ago, when he abruptly moved. The landlady at their apartment told Richey Haq was going to Pakistan. Haq spoke often about guns and politics, said Richey, and didn't like President Bush. A law-enforcement source said Haq had a licence to carry a concealed weapon.") (July 29, 2006)
I agree with you on the age, but I am stil wondering if the name Ohmeed is a nickname, or interchangeable with the name of Ahmed.
I'm convinced they all had their marching orders when they entered the country, regardless of how long they've been here. Just biding their time and waiting for targets of opportunity. Leader-less terrorism.
Spelling doesn't seem to be their strong suit. They all seem to have at least three variants and aliases, plus their nom de plume, and a nom de guerre or two.
Seriously, it's the inbreeding prevalent in these tribal societies particularly in isolated villages. Hand in glove with a violent ideology of victimization.
It's a religion that at least has a large sect that will call you out on Christianity. I think I'm correct in recalling that the two Fox journalists were made to convert to Islam. If somebody called you out and said, "You will renounce Jesus Christ or die," would you die?
I don't even like to think about it, but ... there it is. But then I remember Hugh Hewitt's reminder that many of the fighters accompanying American soldiers are Muslims, who don't want Sharia law any more than we would.
An Ernesto briefing from 8/26 and a commuter plan crash from a few days ago is still listed in "Breaking," but this story continues to get pulled from the sidebar.
Why is FR trying to bury this story? Given the dozen articles posted, there is clear interest. Plus new information continues to surface.
Religion of Peace strikes again?
What kind of hateful, racist, sexist, homophobic, elitist, culturalist, islamophobe remark is that to make?
A true one??
