He was diagnosed as schizophrenic. He was mentally ill. He was given medication for mental illness. He had a history of violent, irrational behavior.
A terrorist is part of a group that uses terror to promote a political agenda. A person’s name has nothing to do with it.
“He was diagnosed as schizophrenic. He was mentally ill. He was given medication for mental illness. He had a history of violent, irrational behavior.”
