TWO ARMY RECRUITERS SHOT.

Because one terrorist attack this week wasn't enough, Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, née Carlos Leon Bledsoe, is suspected of shooting two army recruiters in Little Rock yesterday, killing one. Muhammad was reportedly on the FBI's radar because of his international travels, and his arrest in Yemen for attempting to use a Somali passport even though he is an American citizen.

Private William Long was killed, and his colleague, Private Quinton Ezeagwula, was injured in the shooting. Although there were no explosives in the car Muhammad used to drive to the site, ABC reports that there was an "arsenal" of guns and ammunition inside.

COMMENTS

Terrorism nowadays is getting unpredictable. Police and higher authorities should prepare more ways to prevent terrorism on a higher level. With this incident, I think it would be a big lesson to a lot of people.

I predict that the media outrage about this killing will dwarf any outrage, such as it is, about the Tiller killing.

For future reference, the proper syntax is, "Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, Carlos Leon Bledsoe." Née is the feminine form.
