ATLANTA, June 4 (UPI) -- The FBI said it was looking at whether a Muslim convert accused of killing a soldier outside an Arkansas recruiting center also targeted an Atlanta Jewish site.
The Atlanta site was potentially one of several U.S. Jewish sites Abdulhakim Muhammad targeted, said an anti-terrorism group specializing in protecting against anti-Jewish attacks.
Muhammad, 24 -- who pleaded not guilty to killing Pvt. William Long, 23, and wounding Pvt. Quinton Ezeagwula, 18, outside a Little Rock, Ark., recruiting office -- also had plans for an Atlanta "Jewish entity," an FBI spokesman told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Stephen Emmett would not tell the newspaper which Atlanta site Muhammad may have targeted.
The non-profit Secure Community Network, which monitors threats to parts of the U.S. Jewish community, said Muhammad also may have targeted "military sites (and) government facilities" beyond the Little Rock recruiting station as well as "Jewish institutions in several cities throughout the United States."
It did not identify which sites Muhammad may have targeted.
ABC News reported Thursday Muhammad appears in 2006 and 2007 to have attended the Omar Ibn el-Khattab mosque in Columbus, Ohio, also frequented by three men later convicted of anti-U.S. terrorism.
The other men are Nuradin Abdi, convicted in 2007 of planning to blow up an Ohio shopping mall; Iyman Faris, convicted in 2008 of planning to blow up New York's Brooklyn Bridge, and Christopher Paul, convicted in 2008 of conspiring to use explosives against targets in the United States and Europe.

Well, there are no Americans left in Atlanta. The place has been invaded by immigrants, both legal and illegal, from every corner of the world. He would have vanished there.
Its pretty obvious that this guy was on the radar for a while. The FBI isn’t just now collecting all this info.
Yes. On the radar via the Bush administration. Read the links at Right Wing News.
I disagree, they’ve all moved outside the city limits. The Northern Burbs are heavily conservative and patriotic.
If I’m not mistaken, Atlanta has the largest population of Jewish people in the South.
Welcome to 9/10/01
Eric Holder and Obama are enemies of the state.
Now can we start shooting these bastards?
It just galls me that someone who enjoys the fruits of this nation, he seems to have plenty of time and money to roam around the world, would consider murder on a grand scale.
If it becomes a case of them or us, I choose Us and will not apologize for my frame of mind.
Too bad Eric Holder called the FBI off this guy, who was a known terrorist threat. I guess they needed to keep an eye on veterans, Baptists, and right-to-lifers.
But, but, but......there are soooo many homosexuals in ‘HotLanta’. How could they? /s
This guy's middle name is Mujahid, which means 'following the path of jihad'. This guy named himself "Jihadist".
Dear FBI, that's what Miss Marple would call a clue.
He and the Arkansas shooter attended the same school in Yemen. Not sure if they were there at the same time though.
