Burned Georgia Tech student dies from injuries

The Georgia Tech graduate student burned over 90 percent of his body last month died Thursday, the Institute said.

Saamer Akhshabi was burned in a Feb. 4 explosion inside his apartment, where investigators found a suspected Molotov cocktail and several plastic bottles filled with gasoline and kerosene. Akhshabi, 26, was transported in critical condition to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he died early Thursday, Georgia Tech shared with the campus.

"We have worked closely with other law enforcement agencies during the investigation of this tragic incident," Robert Connolly, interim police chief for Georgia Tech, said in an emailed statement. "The FBI has relayed that, to date, they have not developed any information or evidence indicating criminal intent in this investigation."

Investigators determined that Akhshabi was not a threat to the Georgia Tech community, Connolly said. But no information was released regarding why Akhshabi had the explosive materials.

Akhshabi was studying in the College of Computing at Tech, where he had attended since 2009, according to his web page. He was scheduled to graduate in May. Prior to moving to Atlanta, Akhshabi completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Tehran in Iran, his native country.

I should think it would be difficult to make an effective Molotov cocktail with a plastic bottle of gasoline. But our boy Saamer succeeded!! Must be those great advances made by Muslim culture we keep hearing about.

[null and void]

Geee, that’s too bad.

Good to know, good to know. Would that POV also apply to homemade RPGs, claymores and armor breaching devices? I like this new benefit-of-the-doubt FBI.

“”The FBI has relayed that, to date, they have not developed any information or evidence indicating criminal intent in this investigation.”

What kind of idiot makes Molotov cocktails in their apartment?

My Question is what kind of idiot makes molotov cocktails out of plastic bottles? What a Idjit!

'Every “moderate” Muslim is a potential terrorist. The belief in Islam is like a tank of gasoline. It looks innocuous, until it meets the fire. For a “moderate” Muslim to become a murderous jihadist, all it takes is a spark of faith.

It is time to put an end to the charade of “moderate Islam.” There is no such thing as moderate Muslim. Muslims are either jihadists or dormant jihadists – moderate, they are not.'
