Machete attack at Ohio restaurant, police say motive unclear

[RV ME]

Would this be an example of the discrimination directed against muslims?  Or perhaps another example of workplace violence?  It must be something, anything besides another Perverted Islamic Terrorist attack.  I mean the motive is obviously unclear as to why a muslim would go into an Israeli owned restaurant and randomly hack people with a machete.

 

One thing is for sure, this is another excellent example for more people to conceal carry.  RV ME

 

 

FBI probes machete attack at Ohio restaurant, police say motive unclear

 

The FBI is investigating a machete attack Thursday night that turned a popular, Israeli-owned restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, into a bloodbath, but local police say there is no indication so far of a terror motive.

 

Of the four patrons wounded in the attack at the Nazareth Restaurant and Deli, one was in critical condition before being upgraded to “stable.” The attacker was identified as Mohammad Barry, a law enforcement source told Fox News.

 

"There's nothing to lead us to believe this is anything more than a random attack," Columbus police spokesman Sgt. Rich Weiner told the The Columbus Dispatch.

 

Weiner added that the FBI is also investigating the attack but declined say why.

 

A source told Fox News the FBI is scouring Barry's background, which includes interviewing associates and digging into his travel history. Fox is also told that investigators are looking into Barry's digital and online footprint for terrorist propaganda or evidence of communication extremists.

 

Police said the suspect walked into the restaurant around 5:30 p.m. and spoke with an employee before leaving. Local reports said he asked for the owner, but police did not confirm that. The suspect returned nearly 30 minutes later with machete in hand and attacked a couple, and then turned on diners who came to their aid, police said.

 

The suspect fled in a car, which was eventually stopped by cops, triggering the fatal encounter. According to local reports, as officers approached the man’s vehicle, he got out with a knife in one hand and the machete in the other. After an unsuccessful attempt to subdue the man with a Taser, he lunged towards cops forcing them to open fire.

 

Officials say the motivation for the man’s attack was unclear. Witnesses described a terrifying scene inside the restaurant.

 

“He looked straight at me, but he went over to the booths and just started going down the booths. It all seemed to happen in slow motion,” a waitress told WBNS.

 

A patron also described the frightening scene.

 

“He came in and started beating up on another man, I thought it was a personal thing. Then he just started down the row hitting everybody; people were bleeding,” Karen Bass, a restaurant patron, told My Fox 28 Columbus.

 

Nazareth has been open for 20 years and is a popular spot for locals in the neighborhood, in which the owner is not for greeting customers with a baseball bat in attempt at lighthearted humor.

 

It was not clear if there was any political or racial motivation for the attack, but the Nazarath is known for its multiculturalism. The entrance is adorned with a small Israeli flag and the Arabic phrase, "Ahlan Wa Shalan" which translates to "You are my family, take it easy."

Gee, mohammed... what grievance could YOU possibly have against this gentle burg....? 

 

...been readin' that there kouran, buddy...? 

[RV ME]

We now have learned the Perverted Islamic Terrorist wielding the machete was either a muslim immigrant or muslim refugee, either way he is a doubly protected class for Obummer.  Just another widow or orphan Obummer is flooding the Country with. 

 

Since the terrorist did not use a gun and Obummer can’t use this attack to push against gun rights restrictions, I wonder if he will even recognize or acknowledge this latest Perverted Islamic Terrorist attack on US soil.  Betting not here.  Maybe it’s time I start asking the question I have been directing at Hildabeast, when does negligence become treasonous?  RV ME

 

FBI eyes 'lone-wolf' terror attack in Ohio

 

 

A Muslim immigrant from Africa unleashed a bloody machete attack on patrons at a restaurant owned by a Christian Arab Israeli in Columbus, Ohio, Thursday night and the FBI is now investigating it as a possible act of “lone-wolf” terrorism.

 

CBS News was first to identify the attacker, who entered the Nazareth Mediterranean Restaurant and began slashing people, as a man named Mohamed Barry. CBS reported Barry had a background from Somalia but a family friend told WND Saturday that Barry was originally from Guinea in west Africa. Columbus Police have yet to confirm his country of origin.

 

Barry was known to the FBI, but not under full-scale investigation, law enforcement sources told ABC News. He was in a law enforcement database which includes names potentially related to terrorism, sources said.

 

“He came to each table and just started hitting them,” one of the diners, Karen Bass, told CBS News. “There was a man on the floor bleeding.

 

There was blood on the floor. It was awful. It was just carnage.”

 

Four people were wounded in the machete attack, one critically.

 

The owner of the restaurant, Hany Baransi, who is a Christian Arab from Israel, said he had not taken a day off since Jan. 2 but took off Thursday night because of a migraine headache. He is a proud Israeli citizen who flies the Israeli flag in his restaurant.

 

“Obviously we were targeted because there’s a whole bunch of businesses around here,” he told the Columbus Dispatch.

As an Arab Christian who supports Israel, he described himself as “the minor, minor, minor of the minority. So nobody likes me.”

Police said the man entered the restaurant and asked for the owner.

 

He came back about 35 minutes later with the machete and started hacking patrons.

 

"This was a brutal attack," said Sgt. Rich Weiner, with Columbus Police. "The second time, nothing was said. He just came in and started the attack."

 

"Right now, there's nothing that leads us to believe that this is anything but just a random attack," Weiner said.

 

Two men left the restaurant and called 9-1-1 while another threw chairs at the attacker. Another patron reportedly reached for something behind the register and that's when the jihadist stopped his assault and fled. After a five-mile car chase, he exited his vehicle with the machete. That's when officers shot him dead.

 

The attacker may have traveled to Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, in 2012, CBS reported, citing unnamed federal law enforcement officials.

 

Columbus a favorite dumping ground for Somali refuges

 

Columbus is home to the second-largest Somali-American community in the U.S. after Minneapolis.

 

And how did all the Somalis and other north Africans get in Columbus?

 

As WND has reported in a series of articles, the main route into the United States for Somali nationals is through the refugee resettlement program. The U.S government has since 1992 worked with the United Nations to permanently resettle more than 110,000 Somali refugees into dozens of U.S. cities, including Minneapolis, Columbus, San Diego, and smaller cities in Maine, Texas, Idaho, Washington, Georgia, Michigan, Colorado, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Texas.

 

More than 99 percent of Somali refugees are Sunni Muslims, and the FBI has confirmed that at least 40 young Somali men have left their adopted homeland since 2007 to join the ranks of foreign terrorist organizations including al-Shabab in Somalia and ISIS in Syria. Dozens more have been charged and convicted of providing material support to overseas terrorists.

 

Ohio Gov. John Kasich has been supportive of the refugee resettlements in his state. Like many GOP governors, he has questioned the quality of the vetting process for Syrian refugees, but nothing has been said about the Somali refugees who have been arriving in large numbers for years and struggling to assimilate. They continue to arrive in U.S. cities at a rate of 500 to 800 a month without so much as a word from the GOP governors.

Since 2002, the U.S. State Department has delivered 7,020 Somali refugees to Ohio, and 5,852 of them have been sent to Columbus, according to the federal refugee database.

 

CBS News homeland security correspondent Jeff Pegues reported that investigators were searching for a motive, running down leads to try to determine if the attack was "somehow tied to terrorist organizations."

 

Cruz, Sessions demand Obama stop hiding jihad attacks

 

It took more than five months for the Justice Department to decide that the July 2015 mass shooting that killed five U.S. servicemen in Chattanooga, Tennessee, was a terrorist attack. That attack was carried out by Mohammed Youssef Abdulazeez, who emigrated to the U.S. from Kuwait with his parents at the age of 6.

 

In November last year, Faisal Mohammad unleashed a knife attack on fellow students at University of California-Merced, a case that received almost no national media attention and was never ruled a terrorist attack by the Obama administration.

 

The 2009 attack by Maj. Nidal Hason at Fort Hood, Texas, that killed 13 soldiers was ruled "workplace violence."

 

Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, recently sent a letter calling on the Obama administration to stop covering up the arrests of Muslim jihadists inside the U.S.

 

The letter states that since early 2014 there have been 113 arrests of Muslims implicated in terrorist activity on U.S. soil and the Obama administration refuses to provide an immigration history on any of them. Most of the cases have received little or no coverage in the national media.

 

The restaurant in Ohio remains closed while police investigate.
