A man with "political and religious motives" killed a soldier just out of basic training and wounded another Monday in a targeted attack on a military recruiting center in Arkansas, police said.

The suspect, Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, reportedly had been under investigation by the FBI Joint Terrorist Task Force after he traveled to Yemen and was arrested there for using a Somali passport.

According to ABC News, the investigation was in its early stages and was based on Muhammad's travel to Yemen. While there, Muhammed, a recent convert to Islam, studied jihad with an Islamic scholar, Jihadwatch.org reported.

A police report based on an interview with the suspect said Muhammad, 23, told police he observed two soldiers in uniform on Monday, drove up to the recruiting center in Little Rock and started shooting.

"He saw them standing there and drove up and shot them," Lt. Terry Hastings told The Associated Press. "That's what he said."

Interviews with police show Muhammad "probably had political and religious motives for the attack," Police Chief Stuart Thomas said.

Muhammad, previously known as Carlos Bledsoe, was not part of a larger group nor was his attack part of a larger conspiracy, Thomas said.

"We believe that it's associated with his disagreement over the military operations," the police chief said.

The two soldiers who were shot had completed basic training within the past two weeks and were not regular recruiters, said Lt. Col. Thomas F. Artis of the Oklahoma City Recruiting Battalion, which oversees the Little Rock office.

William Long, 23, died, and Quinton Ezeagwula, 18, was wounded and in stable condition, Police Chief Stuart Thomas said.

Police arrested Muhammad, 23, along an interstate highway moments after the shootings. Thomas said Muhammad would be charged with first-degree murder, plus 16 counts of committing a terroristic act. Thomas said those counts result from the gunfire occurring near other people.

Witnesses told police that a man inside a black vehicle pulled up outside the recruiting center and opened fire about 10:30 a.m. Long fell onto the sidewalk outside the center while Ezeagwula was able to crawl toward its door.

Is this killer terrorist a Citizen of the United States? If not a citizen why was he allowed to be in America?

Is he a Somali? And I have read he was recently converted to Islam in JAIL !

Islam recruiting ground is PRISON AND JAIL !

The FBI was not watching him close enough So are the Americans of the dead and the injured going to get $1 million each from the government?

9-11 victims got $1 million shouldn't other Americans get payment if killed by immigrants or terrorists Our governments and 535 in Congress need to get busy on belated IMMIGRATION PROBLEMS.

If an American is killed on the highways by an illegal or undocmented immigrant in my opinion the State government should have to pay the victims - AMERICANS at least $1,000,000 per citizen in accident.

Yes vmonkey, he was born in Tennessee I think. There are reports that his name, before his jump to Islam, was Carlos Bledsoe. This is obviously a case of domestic terrorism brought on by a conversion to the religion of peace.
