That's ominous. We heard about all the jihadist camps out there when John Allen Muhammed and his sidekick were first arrestsed.

ABU HAMZA ARRESTED IN LONDON ON TERRORISM CHARGES
FILED IN THE UNITED STATES
U.S. Government To Seek Hamza’S Extradition
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Attorney General John Ashcroft, Assistant Attorney General Christopher A. Wray of the Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney David N. Kelley of the Southern District of New York and FBI Assistant Director Pasquale D’Amuro of the New York Field Office today announced the arrest in Great Britain of Mustafa Kamel Mustafa, a/k/a Abu Hamza, the former imam at the Finsbury Park mosque in London, on terrorism charges filed in the United States. The U.S. government is actively seeking Hamza’s extradition from Great Britain to face those charges.
Hamza, 47, was arrested by the Metropolitan Police of New Scotland Yard in London this morning. British authorities arrested Hamza at the request of the United States.
Following Hamza’s arrest in London, an 11-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury on April 19, 2004 in the Southern District of New York was unsealed. The indictment charges Hamza with hostage taking and conspiracy to take hostages, in connection with an attack in Yemen in December 1998 that resulted in the death of four hostages. The indictment also charges Hamza with providing material support to terrorists, and specifically to al Qaeda, for allegedly attempting to set up a terrorist training camp in Bly, Oregon, from October 1999 to early 2000. The indictment also includes charges of providing material support to terrorists, specifically to al Qaeda and the Taliban, for facilitating violent jihad in Afghanistan.
The maximum sentence for the hostage taking charges is the death penalty or life imprisonment. Hamza also faces a maximum sentence of up to 100 years in prison on the additional charges contained in the indictment.
“As today’s arrest makes clear, the Department of Justice is bringing the full weight of the criminal law against those who support the activities of terrorists,” said Attorney General Ashcroft. “The United States will use every available diplomatic, legal and administrative tool to pursue and prosecute those who facilitate terrorist activity around the world, and we will not stop until the war on terrorism is won.”
“The indictment alleges that Abu Hamza was a terrorist facilitator with a global reach - from aiding hostage takers in Yemen, to attempting to set up a jihad training camp in Oregon, to sending people for terrorist training in Afghanistan,” said Assistant Attorney General Wray. “Those who support our terrorist enemies anywhere in the world must know that we will not rest until the threat they pose is eradicated.”

SPD presser coming up.
Was the shooter a Pakistani?
apparently a Pakistani National
Is there any more updated info on that? I just got back to this thread....
Exactly.
Man got through security, said " I am a muslim american", I am angry at Israel, and began shooting
Reported to say: "I am a Muslim-American and I am angry at Israel" (paraphrased). Then opened fire.
KING-5 reporting the suspect said he was a Muslim angry at Israel.
Ok, that is what I heard too, but no url to back that up.
If the FBI's on it, I suspect there's more to the story.
Yes, by golly I sure do! :~D
Not a few seconds ago KING TV CH 5 just repeated: "....Pakistani man(male?)..."
