Ohio state knifeman ranted about how he was 'sick and tired of seeing my fellow Muslim brothers being killed and tortured' on social media hours before wounding 11
| The latest as of midnight. Being as it's the Daily Mail, no doubt there will be updates as more information comes in. |
[DailyMail] Abdul Razak Ali Artan has been identified as the assailant behind a stabbing attack at OSU's Columbus campus Monday morning
He has been described as a Somali refugee and a logistics management student at the school
Fire alarm was pulled at Watts Hall just before 10am and Artan reportedly mowed down evacuating students and staff with his car
He then got out of the vehicle and started slashing victims with a knife injuring 11 - including one critically
Responding OSU police officer Alan Harujko, 28, shot Artan dead after he failed to respond to commands
Two other men were taken from the scene in handcuffs, but police now believe there was only one attacker
Attack comes after ISIS' call for jihadists to use knife attacks as they're the most widely available weapons
Authorities are instigating Facebook post, allegedly made by Artan, which warned America to 'stop interfering with other countries if you want us Muslims to stop carrying lone wolf attacks'
The posts also mention radical cleric Anwar Awlaki and states that Artan is 'sick and tired of seeing my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters being killed and tortured EVERYWHERE. I can't take it anymore' |
