Terror-forsøg i San Diego?

Fra North County Times:

SAN DIEGO - A man who fatally shot himself in his University City condominium during a standoff with San Diego police was identified Saturday as a 29-year-old student.

An autopsy is scheduled tomorrow on the body of Khaled Yasufi, medical examiner Investigator Sal Rodriguez said.

Police were sent to the 8700 block of Costa Verde Boulevard after someone reported a strong odor coming from a condo about 1 p.m. Friday, SDPD Sgt. Jim Schorr said.

A man in the condo told officers everything was fine and shut the door, Schorr said. Within a couple of minutes, a gunshot was heard, prompting police to clear the building, Schorr said.

Police eventually sent in a camera-equipped robot, which transmitted images of a body in the unit. When officers made entry after a standoff of about six hours, a chemical lab was found in the bathroom of the condo, police said.

Rodriguez said he did not know where Yasufi went to school.

Hvis vi forsigtigt antager, at det "bare" var et narko-laboratorium, hvorfor så tage sit eget liv? Det lugter lidt af, at vi måske har med en islamisk fundamentalist med terror-tendenser at gøre. For under to uger siden sprængte en student i Oklahoma sig selv i luften 100 meter fra er stadion pakket med 84.000 tilskuere. Det har været rapporteret både at han var set ofte i en nærliggende moske, og havde flere sprængstoffer og "jihad-litteratur" i sit hjem.
