A Dublin businessman awoke last Wednesday morning to find that his brand new e200,000 Ferrari had been destroyed by a man claiming to have been instructed by Allah.
According to the gardai , Safet Bukoshi from Kosovo, who is in his mid-30s, began his rampage early last Wednesday morning when he set the Ferrari and a Honda Civic on fire.
Two fire brigades arrived at the scene in Clonskeagh, south Dublin, after two loud explosions were heard by local residents. Both cars were destroyed in the blasts.
As garda forensic experts examined the scene
later that morning, Bukoshi, who lives in Clonskeagh, returned with petrol cans and began to douse petrol on more vehicles, including his own wife's car. He was apprehended after the forensics team called local gardai. Bukoshi claimed Allah had told him to set the cars on fire. He was detained by gardai, who have recommended that he be charged with criminal damage at the Circuit Court.
District Superintendent Liam McCahey described it as ``a most unusual incident''.
He said Bukoshi had been remanded in custody in Clover Hill prison in Clondalkin, where he had been given a psychiatric assessment.
According to gardai,Bukoshi, who claimed he was an Albanian, has lived in Ireland for about five years. He and his Kosovar wife have four children.
``He has not come to our attention before,''said McCahey.
``He will first be charged with setting fire to the Ferrari and will then be charged separately for the Honda Civic.We will probably seek to prosecute him in the Circuit Court.''
now these damn jihadis are going after Ferraris? If this article gets any play in Italy - they will send more troops to Iraq.
The mo-slimes really are insane, aren't they?
"Allah told him..." well that's a switch.
Now if I could only get him to destroy my 1979 Dodge Swinger.
the horror.... the horror....
That allah is a mean mo'fo, killing and torturing and now cars!
Different than "the devil made me do it"
"Hey...Hey!!! What the hell are you doing there?"
"Allah told me to do it."
"Yeah...? Well, Jaysus just told me to beat you to death for feckin' up me car."
What the heck is this guy doing in Ireland?
This goes back to the wave of refugee Albanians who were driven out of Kosovo by clinton's bombing attacks. A number of western countries took them in for humanitarian reasons.
Now the Irish are being paid back for their generosity.
What's with this Allah? I can understand the Ferrari, and I can understand the Honda Civic. But I cannot understand a Ferrari and a Civic. We say God acts in mysterious ways, but Allah must be completely bonkers
Paging Arthur Brown...
The guy is a psychotic. God (Allah) is talking to him, telling him to destroy the cars. He's hearing voices. We'd lock him up as a delusional; the English may do so as well. In the Mideast, he'd be just another visionary citizen.
I'm not betting on it, though.
Allah should have advised him to whack a Puegeot. He would have gotten an apology from France.
The idiot probably doesn't have a pot to piss in or the window to throw it out of.
(That's a saying from my dearly departed father that is to imply that the man is lacking financial resources).
I wonder if it's covered by insurance or if the insurance company will claim it's an Act of God.
