He’s a member of a liberal protected victim group... Translation: he’s mentally ill and this has nothing to do with his religion.

The NSA is too busy listening to Granny’s TEA Party related phone calls to track these fine young Muslim males who post plans on FaceBook about hostage taking and bombing for Islam. Ever notice how they all “hear voices” in their heads? That must be a requirement for Muslims.

I think it is a requirement to always quickly deny any hint that a terrorist act had political or religious motives. Example headline, “There is no indication that there was any political or religious motive Boston Marathon bombing committed by two nonpolitical secular American citizen brothers”.

I missed this incident and found no coverage of it here.

I update old threads for archival purposes and add threads when something is not covered.

Was covered here in multiple threads. Here are a few:

Thanks Cindy.
In a post on Sunday, 20-year-old Fuaed Abdo Ahmed... "Ahmed's final post, made Tuesday just hours before the hostage standoff began, is of a photo of a man with a sword attacking a tank.

Naturally HuffPo emphasized alleged mental illness in yet another jihadist — and as if jihad isn’t a dangerous mental illness.

An Interesting Tidbit Of Information About Fuaed Ahmed
Posted by: MacAoidh on Thursday, August 15, 2013, 10:01

http://knoe.images.worldnow.com/images/23142634_BG1.JPG

KNOE uncovered something which might be important about the hostage-taker who murdered a bank manager in St. Joseph earlier this week before being killed by a state police SWAT team.

Namely, that Fuaed Ahmed had some friction at an airport earlier this summer when he was coming back from overseas...

Ahmed was of Yemeni descent, so the fact that he went there isn’t in and of itself evidence that he was a jihadist.

But going to Yemen certainly doesn’t DISPROVE it, either.

Another American who returned from Yemen on the way to killing his countrymen in an exercise of senseless violence was Carlos Bledsoe, the shooter at the Little Rock army recruiting station in 2009. Bledsoe was from not too far up the Mississippi in Memphis, and he was a middle-class kid who had played high school football just like Ahmed did.

FBI releases official statement on Tensas Tragedy shooter (St Joseph, LA)
KNOE-TV8 ^ | August 23, 2013 | Brandon Rodgers
Posted on August 23, 2013 11:28:49 AM PDT by abb

Posted: Aug 23, 2013 12:55 PM CST Updated: Aug 23, 2013 1:03 PM CST Posted By Brandon Rodgers, GMALM Producer

MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - The Federal Bureau of Investigations issued an official statement on Fuaed Abdo Ahmed Friday in response to a KNOE 8 News inquiry.

The FBI confirms they interviewed Ahmed while in Yemen in April of this year. Ahmed’s family thought that he was missing or had been possibly kidnapped.

When reentering the country in June, Ahmed was detained at Los Angeles International Airport by the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI. He was questioned about a picture on his personal Facebook page of him holding an AK-47. In that interview, Ahmed made comments that he believed there was a device in his head. He told DHS officials that he was hearing voices and contemplating suicide.

In the interview he disavowed ties to terrorism.

While in Los Angeles, Ahmed was mentally evaluated for multiple days. During this time, the FBI found no links to any criminal activity.

LSU police, where Ahmed had been a student, were alerted of the situation.

Ahmed walked into the Tensas State Bank branch in St. Joseph on August 13 and took three hostage in the bank. He killed two of the hostages, Ladean McDaniel and Jay Warbington. Patricia White was released unharmed.

Louisiana State Police have said that their report on the investigation would take about a month to release.

Read the Full statement here:

Fuaed Abdo Ahmed, a 20-year-old native of California and former Louisiana State University (LSU) student and a resident of Louisiana, has been identified as the individual responsible for the tragic events at the Tensas State Bank in St. Joseph, Louisiana.

In April of 2013, the FBI interviewed Ahmed in Yemen — where he was visiting at the time — after his family had reported him missing and possibly kidnapped. During the interview, Ahmed denied being kidnapped and said he had left home voluntarily. Ahmed indicated that he believed a device had been planted his head that caused him to hear voices, and he had at times thought of killing himself but would never hurt others.

In June of 2013, after being notified that Ahmed was returning to the United States, DHS interviewed Ahmed at LAX airport; an FBI JTTF task force officer was present for the interview. He was interviewed because DHS had received a report about a Facebook photo of Ahmed holding an AK-47 while he was visiting Yemen. According to the report, Facebook also contained comments about Ahmed believing a device had been implanted in his head and that he was hearing voices and contemplating suicide. During the interview, Ahmed disavowed ties to criminal activity or terrorism. Ahmed was carrying notes stating that a microphone device had been implanted in his head, and that he was hearing voices and high-pitched sounds. The notes also described plans to get assistance to identify the person responsible for the device, and a plan to threaten suicide in a police station if he could not get assistance. The FBI checked relevant databases and found no record of criminal activity or other derogatory information. After the interview, local LA authorities conducted an independent evaluation of Ahmed and then took him to a medical facility for a multi-day mental evaluation.

The FBI briefed the LSU Police Department and the Los Angeles Fusion Center concerning Ahmed after his interview, and both entities issued state-wide law enforcement bulletins describing Ahmed’s interview and statements.

Dear fellow FReepers,
I got a call from my sister this afternoon with horrible and heartbreaking news. The male hostage that was murdered during the bank standoff was a family relative. His name is Jay Warbington, the son of Phyllis Warbington. She is a cousin of mine on my mother’s side of the family.

I didn’t know Jay very well, but I did enjoy visiting with my cousin Phyllis. My sister tells me that Phyllis is devastated by the loss of her son. My heart breaks for her. She is a Christian women and I hope that she can find solace and comfort through her faith.

It is just so shocking that this has happened. The town of St. Joseph is literally in the middle of nowhere. It is a backwater, about as far “out in the sticks” in rural Louisiana as you can possibly get. But a freakin Islamic Yemini goes berserk there spreading death and sorrow to my family. If it can happen in St. Joseph, it can happen ANYWHERE.

The FR search isn’t always that productive. I find a Web search is the best specifying “site:freerepublic.com” and the topic/words/etc you are looking for.
