WND : Utah gunman, 18, was Muslim from Bosnia
2007-02-14
IIUC, his first name is Suleyman or Soleiman.
The 18-year-old gunman who killed five people in a crowded Utah shopping mall was a Bosnian Muslim refugee who was prepared to kill many more, say investigators. The trench-coated teenager wanted to "to kill a large number of people" and probably would have killed many more if not for the off-duty officer, Police Chief Chris Burbank said.

A friend said Talovic was from the war-torn country of Bosnia and that the trauma he experienced while growing up may have led to him snapping for some reason.

Talovic had a backpack full of ammunition, a shotgun and a .38-caliber pistol, police said. Investigators knew little about Talovic, except than he lived in Salt Lake City with his mother, the chief said. He was enrolled in numerous city schools before withdrawing in 2004, the school district said. Initially, police refused to release his name or any information about his background.

Talovic drove to the Trolley Square shopping center – a century-old former trolley barn with winding hallways, brick floors and wrought-iron balconies, and immediately killed two people, followed by a third victim as he came through a door, Burbank said. Five other people were then shot in a gift shop, he said.

Maybe. Probably not, though. I suspect the "trauma" is called "radical islam". Suppose he had time to pick it up in Bosnia, or was it from the U.S.A.?

#4  An old Irish legend is Dan married a daughter of Pharoah, and fled his wrath on Phoenician ships. The Milesians eventually settled in Ireland. If the Danites were the legendary Celtic warriors, and since most of Ireland immigrated following the Great Famine, there may well be modern day Danites may attend to this Koranimal's family!!!
