The suspect arrested in the fatal shooting of one soldier and the critical injury of another at a Little Rock, Ark., Army recruiting booth today was under investigation by the FBI's Joint Terrorist Task Force since his return from Yemen, ABC News has learned.
The investigation was in its preliminary stages, authorities said, and was based on the suspect's travel to Yemen and his arrest there for using a Somali passport.
The suspect, Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, 24, had changed his name from Carlos Leon Bledsoe after converting to the Muslim faith.
Law enforcement sources said he offered no resistance when Little Rock police arrested him today.
It was not known what path Muhammad, a U.S. citizen who is a recent convert to Islam, had followed to radicalization.
"At this point it appears that he specifically targeted military personnel, but there doesn't appear to be a wider conspiracy or, at this point in time, any indication that he's a part of a larger group or a conspiracy to go further," Little Rock Police Chief Stuart Thomas said.
But, Muhammad's travels overseas have sparked a major international investigation. Officials say it is too early to know for certain if he indeed acted alone.
According to sources, the suspect advised them that he was going to kill as many Army personnel as possible. At the time of the shooting, the subject had approximately 200 rounds of ammunition available, police said.
According to a police report, Muhammad told police he saw two uniformed U.S. soldiers in front of the recruiting office before he shot and killed Pvt. William Long, 23, and wounded Pvt. Quinton Ezeagwula, 18, while they were taking a break outside the U.S. Army recruiting station where they both worked.

HEY OBAMACNNMSNBCNYTCBSNBCABC!!!!!!!!
IT WAS A BLACK MUSLIM MALE WITH A HIGH POWERED RIFLE SHOOTING AT UNARMED AMERICAN SOLDIERS! I TRIPLE-DOG DARE YOU TO REPORT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are not called the Fumbling Bumbling Idiots for nothing.
This murderous attack from a black muslim comes as news is still sweeping the net about the Obama Justice Department pardoning the Malcolm X / Black Panther types who were threatening Americans at the voting booths last November.
This stuff is disgusting and it is disturbing.
God be with us all, because Obama sure as heck isn't.
I checked over at DU, they seemed so disappointed it was a raghead. They desperately wanted it to be a disgruntled vet that did it. Here are some posts from DU. Oh and there are almost 400 posts on the baby killer, pretty short thread on our dead and wounded soldiers.
Two Army Recruiters Shot, One Dead In Little Rock Shooting
Please don’t let the suspect be a war protester... More likely a soldier
maybe it was the same guy that shot that doctor. nt
I don’t think there’s any chance of that
well then what does “your gut” tell you ?
Victims were two guys from the area where they were shot
OMG... please stop this. Our Armies are not our enemies.
If you were any more transparent
Does this mean we should act like the moonbats and blame all of those who incited hatred for the wars and the past administration for this one individual’s actions?
I haven’t seen the comments by Obama condemning the shooting of the two recruiters, the murder of one.
Did I miss it?
They have already decided to provide Justice Department protection to abortion providers. What special protection are they providing for recruiters?
What type of hate crimes legislation is pending for Muslim perpetrators of such crimes?
Really. I am sure Obama will be sending in the U.S. Marshals to protect military recruiting offices immediately just like he sent in U.S. Marshals to protect abortion clinics across America. </sarc>
I wonder if the Tiller thing motivated this Islamofascist to make his move.
Are we in some sort of “civil war?” “You shoot abortionist, I shoot soldiers.”
Obama shows his true colors for sure this week.
We are being nibbled to death by ducks.
These guys are wannabes.
Any questions whether the soldier was allowed to be armed at that place and time? He wasn't.
God bless our men in uniform. Because the rules they have to live with are FUBAR.

Here's 19 others from 2001:
And here's Ahmed Ressam, the foiled Millennium Bomber who's now deservedly rotting in jail for attempting to set off a bomb at LAX on New Year's Eve 1999:

Now, I know I'm a racist pig (you know, kinda like SCOTUS nominee Judge Sotomayor) for bringing this up in the first place. But it sure seems easy for our government to develop a "profile" for the average Islamic terrorist.
And the reality is, the terrors don't look anything like these folks:

Zacarias Moussaoui (Arabic: زكريا موسوي Zakariyyā Mūsawiy; sometimes Habib Zacarias Moussaoui born May 30, 1968) is a French citizen who was convicted of conspiring to kill citizens of the USA as part of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. As a result of his conviction, he is serving a life sentence at the Federal ADX Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado.

Cheers!
The Kenyan has encouraged the islamic fascists to act.
He has at every chance been friendly and subservient to islamic fascists, communists, dictators and all the other scum that he associates with.
He has started nationalization (boycott GM and UAW).
Can you imagine the FBI being able to effectively investigate any terrorist activity under the traitorous Kenyan. The Kenyan’s silence on this issue is even more encouragement to the islamic fascists.
Jack Murtha:"There was no firefight. There was no IED that killed these innocent people. Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them, and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood."
John Kerry:"They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country."
Words mean things, but only when it helps liberals.
Cheers!
Do you have a link/source to information that he was "a convicted felon?" I haven't seen that mentioned in any of the news reports I've read.
Yes, the mosque needs to be on a watch list for sure.
The Kenyan is islamic educated and most Somalis are islamics. So... they are bros. Also, many Nigerians are good Christians. It is improbable that a Christian is a bro to any islamic.
