Travis AFB Attacker Identified

Just in case you missed the news with all the porn star and sullen teenage instastars news, there was an attack on Travis Air Force Base in California last week, and authorities have now identified the attacker:

The man who drove into Travis Air Force Base in California on Wednesday night has been identified as Hafiz Kazi, 51, according to the FBI special agent in charge, Sean Ragan.

Kazi was from India, a legal permanent resident since 1993 with no connection to the base, Ragan said.

Ragan described him as having generally lived in the San Francisco area for much of that time.

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess Hafiz Kazi wasn’t a Baptist.

His vehicle slowly approached the checkpoint at the main gate of Travis on Wednesday evening, two U.S. officials said. At the point where a guard would have checked Kazi’s identification, the vehicle kept moving, and a flash was observed inside the vehicle.

As the vehicle moved slowly through the checkpoint, it fully ignited into flames before coming to a stop on a median, the officials said.

Ragan said five propane tanks were found inside the vehicle, along with three phones, three plastic one-gallon gas cans, several lighters, and a gym bag with personal items.

No word as to how many propane accessories were in the van.

Authorities are stumped as to motivations. “We don’t have any evidence of any religious affiliation or anything at this point.”

I guess that means there’s only a 99% chance he was an Islamic extremist, then…

    This guy might also be Hindu. There is a large growing anti-Muslim and anti-Christian group called Hindu Munnani. They recently attacked a pastor in the state of Tamil Nadu. We live in troubling times.

    Only a few groups have been attacking the US government in general. Since this guy happens to have a name which appears to be associated with one of those groups, he just may have that affiliation. Obviously, they have no idea what his motivations were because they don’t want to look.
