The recent convert to Islam who allegedly shot and killed a U.S. soldier at a Little Rock, Ark., recruiting booth had ties to a number of global locations linked to extremists, including Yemen, Somalia and Columbus, Ohio, ABC News has learned.
Yemen and Somali are known hotbeds for terrorism. Columbus, Ohio, has been an area of domestic concern for authorities who have observed a number of Somali Americans traveling from there to Somali to wage jihad.
Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, 24, upon his arrest Monday shortly after the fatal shooting, allegedly confessed and told authorities he acted alone, according to court documents. But prior to the shooting, Muhammad had been the subject of a preliminary investigation by the FBI's Joint Terrorist Task Force since his return from Yemen, where he was arrested and had in his possession a false Somali passport, ABC News has learned.
And now, officials say, the FBI and the CIA are engaged in an intense effort to reconstruct Muhammad's path to extremism -- and allegedly to murder -- taking apart his life, examining his friendships, educational records, travel within the United States and possible contacts with extremists overseas.

At least ABC is reporting on this in a serious way. Niether NBC or CBS has touched it. Good Morning America and ABC World news both had somewhat lengthy pieces last night, where as CBC and NBC didn’t even mention it.
"EXTREMIST LOCATIONS" lol is that the best PC they could use. How sadly pathetic. God be with and protect us all.
Hmm. Was he a US Military veteran? A Christian Right Winger? A FReeper? That’s where all the best terrorists come from, don’t you know.
Yikes, that's only 100 miles from me.
Why the Somalis pick Columbus, Ohio? There's a hugh mosque in Toledo OH and a pretty large one north of Cincinnati in West Chester, OH.
Bet the Chamber of Commerce in Columbus, Ohio will be pleased to see themselves lumped in with Somalia and Yemen...
I'm talking to VFW, American Legion, and Patriot Guard and waiting on LRPD for a go ahead.....will keep you posted.

There is a large community of Somalians in the southwest Columbus area. The school system has had to go to great extremes to accommodate them. I’m not sure why the chose the area.
every muslim is responsible for this action. Where is the outrage at this? A domestic terrorist shoots two United States ACTIVE DUTY Soldiers and there is nothing?
I have never been less proud of my country.
I guess the obvious is missing the New FBI!!! he is a Muslim!
” NBC didn’t even mention it.”
Williams was too busy gushing over Obama’s M&Ms.
Not one peep from the obozo admin—not one word of solace—not one word of condemnation. obozo is such a fraud in more ways than one. He disgusts me.
I don't know if it's still the case, but when that thing was built in Perrysburg Ohio back in the '80s, it was the largest mosque outside of the Arab world. It is big.
There a very big Muslim population that runs from Toledo to Dearborn.
and date night and what they were wearing...
Rashim Muhammed Jackson?
He's been living 2 miles from my house since April, and before that, travelled to Yemen to learn how to kill US Soldiers, get caught, and then become a hero in the prison system in order to indoctrinate other ice-cube sized brains into the "ROP".
Trust me friend...this isn't over.
Any statement from that jerk in the White House?
