Lone Wolf stabbing in Roanoke investigated by FBI
2016-08-23
Yes, the FBI: where domestic terrorist investigations go for a proper burial...
A man in Roanoke (Virginia) allegedly shouted ‘Allah Akbar’ while attacking a man and woman with a knife Saturday, an incident being investigated by the FBI.

Roanoke County police said that the attack occurred Saturday evening at The Pines Apartments, as a man and woman were entering an apartment building. Witnesses heard their attacker yelling ‘Allah Akbar,’ police said Monday night.

The man fought off the attacker, police said, who fled the scene but was apprehended when he came into the same emergency room where the two victims were being treated. Police were in the hospital and soon arrested the suspect, identified as 20-year-old Wasil Farooqui of Roanoke County. He is charged with two counts of aggravated malicious wounding and is being held without bond at the Western Virginia Regional Jail.
No doubt he'll be found to have "mental issues"...
Roanoke police said the attack was believed to be random and that Farooqui had no connection to the victims.

Adam Lee, Special Agent In Charge of the FBI’s Richmond Field Office, said in a statement provided by local police that the agency is involved.

“While I cannot discuss details of the investigation at this time, I do want to reassure the community that we are working to determine the nature of the incident,” he said.
Best gumshoes in the land are working on it, and we'll never hear another word...

#2  See Something - Say Something: If you should see that young chap on the left, please contact your local FBI Special Agent in Charge (SAC). He goes by the name Tamerlan and was picked up in connection with the Boston Marathon bombing. He's not been seen or heard from lately.

#1  Hey "Special" Agent Lee - how about discussing the dam details of the investigation for once...especially that part about where you all dropped the ball. You all are absolutely useless. The FBI knew about this guy and don't do anything about him after his failed attempt to join ISIS...

Hell, they even lost Mateen's wife...let her go on "travels" while they were preparing charges against her; knew about Mateen; knew about and even encouraged the two in Garland Texas; they knew about the brothers in Boston, and Nakoula video maker... WTF? - over.

I wish the FBI could tell us about all the ones they stopped...but, that would be a "secret" and they can't tell us...the terrible secret is that the FBI, nor DHS, nor State, aren't stopping anyone.
