Hafiz Kazi, 51, breached the gates of Travis Air Force Base in California and set himself and his car on fire on Wednesday
His minivan was packed with five propane tanks, three gallon-size gasoline cans and several cigarette lighters
He was found so badly charred he had to be identified by his fingertips
FBI said Friday the attack is not considered an act of terror
Kazi left no explanation for the attack
The man who drove into a Northern California Air Force base and set himself and his car on fire has been identified and FBI reveal he is not a known terrorist.
On Wednesday Hafiz Kazi, 51, 'gained unauthorized access' to the main gate of the Travis Air Force base, drove through, and set his minivan packed with propane tanks alight in a fiery crash.
Kazi, an immigrant who came from India 25 years ago, died by the time authorities arrived on the scene and has no known links to terrorism, investigators said Friday.
FBI revealed they have no leads on the reason behind the attack.
The attack, which was at first thought to be an act of terror, is no longer considered as such as Kazi has not been linked to a motive, according to CBS.
He resided in Sausalito, California and did not leave any explanation for the attack. Nor did he leave a manifesto or threats, according to Fox News.
'Why did this individual end up at the front gate of Travis Air Base on fire and now deceased?' FBI Sacramento agent Sean Ragan said at a press conference Friday.
'We don't have the answers to that,' he added.

Thanks for this post!
I did not know that.
They don’t want to remind those on the fence why we need a 2nd Amendment.
Funny how the media keeps showing us the same 4 Anti-Second Amendment kids out of a high school of 3,000. The public only gets 4 that parrot the same line as the Establishment DNC.
And, the sun doesnt rise in the east!
Taking us for fools. I think Pres. Trump ought to come out within minutes after one of these absurd denials and announce/tweet that, yes indeed, the perp was a terrorist. It doesn’t look good to go against the boss, and so this “he wasn’t a terrorist” crap would stop real quick.
He may have been a peace activist who was only trying to protest the military, you know.
I have shared this story when it happened eight years ago.
I am building a project at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri — South-central Missouri just off I-44 which runs from Oklahoma to St. Louis diagonally across the south of the state.
Leonard Wood has a variety of gates. The main gate off St. Roberts, an east gate and south gate and one on a 3 mile spur off I-44 called the west gate.
One morning there was a Missouri Trooper/Sheriff convention with the MP school at the Fort. Hundreds of Law Enforcement offices.
There is some road construction, detour warnings, lane changes etc on east bound I-44.
That morning, a car pulls up to that West Gate. The West Gate has pop-up barriers installed from almost a year earlier but they can’t get the money from Obama to put them into use by having a Commissioning Agent test them. The driver of the car is asked for his ID. He proceeds to blow the gate and the MP fires on him.
Fort wide alert. Every cop breaks out of the seminar and jumps in his car. The car goes to the center of the Fort and turns North and heads to the Main gate. He is fired on and reverses direction now with about a dozen or two MP cars in hectic chase and general confusion. At this point the driver starts shooting semi-auto weapons out the windows as he drives through the middle of the Fort. He drives down into the wooded valley to the east and exits the Fort with LE in pursuit. He is cornered in a parking lot near the neighboring town of Rolla and shot.
-— -— -— Now the Question. What is he? -— -— -—
Turns out he is a guy that just got paroled from Prison in Oklahoma and was headed to St. Louis on I-44 with ambition to rob a bank
To be ready he has his rifles on his back seat with a blanket thrown over them.
He thought the detour signs and lane closures were routing him around construction and exited on the spur thinking it was a by-pass. When he hit the gate he didn’t show his DL as it was expired. He blew the gate in a panic of confusion — he probably didn’t realize he was driving onto a secure Military Base.
That is non-terrorism. Lost red-neck Okie parolee.
Re: Hardly heard this mentioned in the Commie media...
Astounding.
I check FR, Drudge, and news headlines at least once a day.
Happened three days ago, and I never heard thing.
Well gee, I wonder what his motive was????
Just another crazed white privileged, Christian
that the FBI warned us against !
It’s obvious that this trashbag was going to try to pull alongside a bomber or other plane and attempt to light one up. Most likely his improvised weapon malfunctioned. Much to the delight of the service members at the scene. But not an act of terror? Right.
Strange. The FBI had no trouble describing the Austin bomber as a terrorist even though they still have no motive...
A terrorist attack that wasn’t terrorism??
Only the Air Force can be so Politically Correct as to be that stupid!
The USAF was PC long before I was in service in the 80’s, and they’ve only gotten worse.
“Well gee, I wonder what his motive was????”
According to the Air Force, the terrorist must have hated his vehicle.
Great story, but there’s a lot more terrorists than “lost red-neck Okie parolees”.
My real first guess is that they guy with the Muslim sounding name planned to crash his propane filled truck into a hanger full of airplanes.
FBI??? ...Authorities???...LOL
Your ‘point’ ?
