Fort Hood shooter a "self-radicalized, home-grown terrorist"?

Lieberman Suggests Army Shooter Was 'Home-Grown Terrorist'

Excerpt:

Mr. Lieberman said that if news reports were true that Mr. Hasan had turned to Islamic extremism, "the murder of these 13 people was a terrorist act and, in fact, it was the most-destructive terrorist act to be committed on American soil since 9/11."


Comment: Consider Fort Hood suspect said his goodbyes before rampage

Soldiers reported that the gunman shouted "Allahu Akbar!" — an Arabic phrase for "God is great!" — before opening fire Thursday, said Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, the base commander.


CNN questioned whether religion was a factor in the shooting. LIKE DUH!

Updated: Alleged shooter tied to mosque of 9/11 hijackers - Hasan apparently attended mosque when a radical imam preached there

The alleged Fort Hood shooter apparently attended the same Virginia mosque as two Sept. 11 hijackers in 2001, at a time when a radical imam preached there.

Whether the Fort Hood shooter associated with the hijackers is something the FBI will probably look into, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.

The family of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist who killed 13 and wounded 29 at the Texas military base, held his mother's funeral at the Dar al Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Va., on May 31, 2001, according to her obituary in the Roanoke Times newspaper.
