The recent convert to Islam who allegedly shot and killed a U.S. soldier at a Little Rock, Ark., recruiting booth had ties to a number of global locations linked to extremists, including Yemen, Somalia and Columbus, Ohio, ABC News has learned.
Yemen and Somali are known hotbeds for terrorism. Columbus, Ohio, has been an area of domestic concern for authorities who have observed a number of Somali Americans traveling from there to Somali to wage jihad.
Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, 24, upon his arrest Monday shortly after the fatal shooting, allegedly confessed and told authorities he acted alone, according to court documents. But prior to the shooting, Muhammad had been the subject of a preliminary investigation by the FBI's Joint Terrorist Task Force since his return from Yemen, where he was arrested and had in his possession a false Somali passport, ABC News has learned.
And now, officials say, the FBI and the CIA are engaged in an intense effort to reconstruct Muhammad's path to extremism -- and allegedly to murder -- taking apart his life, examining his friendships, educational records, travel within the United States and possible contacts with extremists overseas.

It is very odd that this guy didn't go down "in a blaze of glory", trying to take as many cops with him as he could. I think you may be on to something when you say that it was part of the "plan".
Something does not smell right about this. This guy travels the world representing his father's tour bus company from Little Rock, Arkansas. Gets picked up in Yemen on a bogus Somali passport. The US State department HAD to be aware. I contend that the FBI-CIA-State Department lost control of their pet muzzie. That is why they are letting Arkansas have first shot at trying this guy. He was one of theirs (the feds).
“There is a large community of Somalians in the southwest Columbus area. The school system has had to go to great extremes to accommodate them. I’m not sure why the chose the area.”

Yikes! I went to school in Grove City through sixth grade... Are they there? When I was growing up in the ‘50s, the place, it was the classic Midwestern white-bread suburb Disney made TV shows for.
Well they can’t report on this... you know, a “doctor” who butcherd 9 month old children was gunned down, we can’t remind people that there are real innocent victims in this world, we are too busy trying to make this monster look like an innocent victim.
All the MSM outrage is over Tiller (abortionists who destroyed 60,000 unborn)
This muslim terrorist story is almost out there with the chirping crickets.
The TOTUS has not formulated anything eloquent to articulate at this time, so I’m guessing he may be a bit disappointed that his new position has not magically transformed the losers of his voter base into paid community organizers—yet.
Water Board his ass.
Columbus, Ohio is now an extremist location?
Now that’s a scary picture. He looks evil.
This and the murder of the abortion doctor happened at about the same time. Gives us a chance to compare how the media handle the two events.
They hate pro-life people, and love jihadis. How will they spin it?
Says here he confessed(I knew that already just making a point)but this morning I read on another thread that he pleaded not guilty. Which is it or is it both?
I am glad to see one of the State run media is reporting this. The MSM is without shame in their a** kissing of the current administration. What a bunch of criminals.
Not just pro-life, but WHITE pro-life. The black muslim doesn't fit the DHS profile of white, ex military terrorists, so therefore won't be reported on since there is no political gain in doing so.
Both. He admitted it, but his lawyer had him plead not guilty in court.
We had two young,brave men serving and protecting our country shot down in cold blood by a Muslim. One has died and I don't know about the second at this moment. As far as I know the president has not made a public statement about this attack on these brave men. That should have been done straightway with anger at the killer and condolence to their loved ones and the Nation.
He's a racist, arrogant and intends to destroy our country.
I would be glad to be wrong about his intentions, but what I seen to date I fear I am right.
have seen
Know who his lawyer is?
But he said all that before he was read his Miranda Rights before he confessed, so an ACLU Scumbag Lawyer will file a motion to have the confession excluded.
My experience has been Somalia is the north side, Morse Rd. area. The southwest quadrant is Mexico.
The Somali community used to be concentrated in the Morse Rd./161/Blendon Twp. area. Has that changed in the last couple of years?
