FBI: UC-Merced stabber was inspired by the Islamic State

Back in November, it was a different story. Faisal Mohammad had left behind a “manifesto,” but even that wasn’t considered conclusive:

“The document also included several references to Allah, the sheriff said. Warnke, however, stressed that there was ‘still nothing to indicate’ Mohammad’s Muslim religion had anything to do with his motive.

Faisal Mohammad, 18, who was shot and killed after stabbing four individuals last November had self-radicalized, the FBI said in a statement.
