An uncle of the man who killed four Marines and a sailor in Tennessee has been in custody in Jordan since a day after the attacks on two military sites, a lawyer said Tuesday.

Al-Khateeb identified his client as Asaad Ibrahim Asaad Haj Ali, a maternal uncle of the Chattanooga attacker, Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez.

A Jordanian official said Tuesday that he is sure the uncle and "other relevant people" in Jordan were being questioned, but he would not elaborate and or confirm that the uncle was detained.

We don’t know the white house didn’t know.

Jordan is pretty solid about alerting us to potential terrorists heading our way.

What?! No!!
How is this fair?!
The shooter is only allegd to be a Jihadi.
He is clearly a lone wolf with no motive!
Do not look at the filthy Mosque nor his uncle or father. There is no connection there! They are good, normal Americans!!

Yes Cripple!
How could anyone know?
Promoting the lifestyle and beliefs of this axxhole could not possibly have encouraged his murders. Obama and his team had nothing to do with it. Neither did the encouragement of the MSM!
All are innocent i say! And we still dont know what motivated him, but we’re looking into it i say.... Wait... Didn’y Trump just say McCain was a loser?
And over there? A SQUIRREL!!!

Knowing a bit about Middle Eastern police practices, I feel quite sure the uncle will tell the nice policemen everything he knows about his nephew.

Sadly, the US authorities will file this with the information the Russians gave them about the Tsarnaev brothers.
