According to the ticker on top of Ha'aretz the FBI is reporting that the LA Airport gunman was an Egyptian-born resident of Irving, California.

FBI will have a picture to show anyone who knows him
He has here since '91 and little else is known of him

My Parents live in Irvine, It's Full Of Arabs

Irvine is an Orange County city near Santa Ana and Tustin.

Believe it or not, when I lived in Orange County (1960's) Irvine was a ranch.

[seeker41]

Guess what, there are a million more of "hims" here in the USA. You cannot trust these people, just b/c they live here double digit years means nothing.

[newsperson999]

notice how they only release this after the 4th is over..we wouldn't want to scare people now would we..it only took them 9 hours to tell us he was an Arab...I'm sorry but those "news" conferences they had were a joke. The sad thing is besides news junkies like us the average american believed them when they said they didn't know...sad sad sad

[College Repub]

They knew who he was from AT LEAST the time when Peres was saying it was terrorism. He (Peres) wouldn't risk saying something like that unless he knew for sure...

[seeker41]

Of course they knew, had to wait for the festivites of the 4th to be over before they told us. Scumbags.

[bok]

The Ret military officer Cowan? on fox news went on and on about him possibly being a white supremacist.

[Mo1]

He (Peres) wouldn't risk saying something like that unless he knew for sure...

I would tend to agree with you .. but then I have to ask .. how the heck did he know

I mean he came out pretty fast with his comments

[Grampa Dave]

The Israeli Shin Bet is calling it an act of terrorism: (Shin Bet believes shooting is terrorist!)

There had been no intelligence warning of an attack by any organization on an Israeli target in the U.S., but the way in which the attack took place, its location and timing, seemed to point to terrorism. Unless proved otherwise, that is how the Shin Bet decided to regard it.

[per loin]

Was that the jerk who kept calling it a random act of violence, or a possible suicide?

[College Repub]

He knew from what ELAL told him or maybe what FBI told him. Israel could care less about political correctedness or attempting to maintain it on July 4th. So he came out and said what most of us already knew was probably the case anyway.

You mean John Hinckley Jr., The guy in the clock tower at the University of Texas, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, James Huberty?

[Vidalia]

My Parents live in Irvine, It's Full Of Arabs."

You mean CRABS???

[The Great Satan]

Guess what, there are a million more of "hims" here in the USA.

You exaggerate. Only about 5-10% of muslims are actively involved in Jihad organizations. There are no more than 50-100,000 of these fellows running around -- 200,000, tops.

[patriciaruth]

Yes, the news conferences were a joke. The only excuse I can come up with is that maybe the FBI didn't want his friends alerted early that they were looking for him.

[oldvike]

Appologize for what? I didn't see him today.

[College Repub]

*****BREAKING****

*They ID'ed him with fingerprints from CA DMV.
*He has a wife and a kid.
*He was a licensed LIMO DRIVER.
*Note on his door telling people to read Koran.
-Note has been there for a while...
*Has 2 different records on file with DMV. Each record has a different date (hence the age discrepencies.
-One birthday is listed as July 4th

[Brad's Gramma]

Did you find a SPELLING of his name yet?

[seeker41]

You are tiring, we are in a war with muslim terrorists, what is it that you don't understand. I figure you must be of arab descent b/c you are always spewing things against Israel and seem to be pro-arab in your comments. I'm done with you now and will not respond further.

[logician2u]

Believe it or not, when I lived in Orange County (1960's) Irvine was a ranch.

LOL

I had a girlfriend in college whose parents ran the general store in Irvine, just off the 101 (before I-5 designation) at Myford Rd., right opposite El Toro MCAS.

That and a gas station across the street was about the extent of the town. Believe the current City of Irvine sprang full-grown from the mind of activists at UCI who needed political legitimacy for their proposals to build a "planned community."

Well, now they have it -- and they can have it, too. I have no desire to move back to OC, least of all Irvine.

[Sabertooth]

KABC Los Angeles says he left a note on his door saying "read the Koran"

[healey22]

I suspect the reason it took so long for the feds to release this info. is that they know Americans will not stand for terrorist blowing innocents away. We will not stand by and endure what Israel has been dealing with because our government would rather not offend the terrorist among us. We will demand that our government take swift action and spare us the pc crap or Americans will defend their country themselves.

[per loin]

He was jumping all over anybody who suggested that this could be a terrorist event.

[Sabertooth]

Put up or shut up, you race baiting punk... ping!

[patriciaruth]

Well, at least FOX News had the interview with the French witness who said that the gunman looked either Arab or Afghani. What did Cavuto say?

[JCG]

You exaggerate. Only about 5-10% of muslims are actively involved in Jihad organizations. There are no more than 50-100,000 of these fellows running around -- 200,000, tops.

Number, number, who's got the number?

Here's a happy thought from Middle East expert Daniel Pipes:

Islamists constitute a small but significant minority of Muslims, perhaps 10 to 15 per cent of the population. Many of them are peaceable in apearance, but they all must be considered potential killers.

How does 400,000 to 800,000 -- in our country -- potential killers sound?

Of course you meant IrVINE which is a California city, not IrVING who is a Jewish deli guy in NYC.

[The Great Satan]

Okay -- 800,000, tops. I lied.

Whatever happened to Smith? Jones? Sheesh.

[Nick Danger]

CNN's Charles Feldman is reporting that FBI is saying the man is "Hachem Mohamed Hadayet" originaly from Egypt, moved to states in '92

[seeker41]

Thanks, I was looking for that exact Daniel Pipes article to post in response to to "my exaggeration". LOL

[PJeffQ]

or Irving where the Boy Scout HQ and Texas Stadium are both located....

[NRA2BFree]

"You cannot trust these people, just b/c they live here double digit years means nothing."

I agree. I will never trust 'em. If they are Muslims they're dangerous.

[PJeffQ]

No Sadeyets listed in the online directories anywhere in the state of Calif.

FBI: LA Airport gunman identified as Issam Hashem Hadayat, had green card

from Ha'aretz

[varina davis]

Fox News also reported that a "source" in LA said LE found bomb making material in his home and note about further attacks. Said FBI would not confirm information.

[MJY1288]

LOL, he was a green card carrying Egyption living in LA,

[Brad's Gramma]

Post #44 has a different spelling...try that one.

[PJeffQ]

There's a Mohammad Hadayat listed in Elk Grove, CA

[seeker41]

Their loyalty always lies with the "brothers", they are just wired that way. It is best not to trust them.

[The Great Satan]

What is it with Egyptions and air travel? Arafat, Atta, that guy who flew the jumbo jet into the Atlantic, and now this one. Is there something in the water over there?
