...Or it wasn’t really his cousin who called Shep Smith.
Perhaps he (Hassan) had only recently determined what he was going to do. His cousin said he hadn’t talked to him in about 5 months.
Missed the “he hadn’t talked to him in about 5 months” part.
Cousin (and some other family members) apparently talked to the press today. Usual pap.
Sounds to me like he wanted to martyr himself: maybe someone will help him fulfill his wish, and save the poor American Taxpayer (that would be us!) a nickle or two.
