The FBI has launched a terrorism investigation after an alleged extremist attempted to behead a man and stabbed a woman outside an apartment complex in Virginia. The incident happened on Saturday night in what police in Roanoke are describing as a 'random attack'. Witnesses said the suspect, identified as 20-year-old Wasil Rafat Farooqui, shouted 'Allahu Akbar' while attempting to decapitate the male victim, who was able to fight off the armed assailant. According to jail records, the man and woman suffered 'permanent impairment' following the random attack by a suspect who had previously tried to sneak into Syria for terrorist training. Police arrested Farooqui, a US-born citizen, when he walked into the same hospital as the two victims to seek medical treatment for his own injuries. The suspect has been charged with two counts of malicious wounding causing permanent impairment according to jail records. He is being held without bond at the Western Virginia Regional Jail. http://dailym.ai/2byzZXD ****** Top comment: "Maybe the governor of Virginia can get him released...so he can vote for Hillary"
I heard it on the news this morning as I was getting ready for work. http://wjla.com/news/local/police-say-roanoke-co-stabbing-suspect-yelled-allah-akbar-during-stabbing
How many does it take to decapitate an innocent man for ISIS? One. At a time. You really think this is NOT news worthy? Not a peep. Not a peep?
I once mentioned that America was worried about the wrong thing and that we needed to worry about Isis being in our back yard. Well, here it is...
They like to call it lone wolf attacks or workplace violence. It's actually an intolerant, murderous Ideology.
You really think this was a planned attack?? Seems kind of weak and more likely a beef that got out of control.
Just that here's yet another sad and terrible attack on innocent people going about their lives. I remember when it seemed like these sort of things were always elsewhere. Then, I remember the '93 truck bomb at the World Trade Center garage under the north tower. I was still living in NYC at the time, and I remember that we thought that was the worst day ever. Then, there was the Oklahoma City bombing a few years later. These terrible acts along with numerous mass shootings would sadly almost become the norm.
And that I don't get. How many lone wolf/work place violence attacks make up 1 terrorist attack? Wake up America!!!
I don't know if this man is an actual agent of a terror group or not, but the ill-considered execution of the attack, makes me consider the possibility that he is just the latest in a long streak of disturbed people who latch on to a famous/infamous group, person, or ideology to make themselves feel relevant.
C'mon... You know global warming is made up. It was decided at that same secret party in which it was also decided that racism no longer exists.
:smt023 A ten year old can tell you why Venus is hotter than mercury. A lot of Conservative ideology is learned stupidity.
Nothing here confirms that this is an ISIS attack. ISIS influence? Sounds like it but no conformation that this is ISIS.
Because conservatives ( the people and ideaology we are talking about) don't eat meat. How much do eating meat contribute to green house gases?? Why is the meat industry the first thing you thought of out of the trillion dollar industrial world? Lol Out of all the measures we can take you say don't eat meat. Lmao
