Mohammed Reza Taheriazar, lone jihadist

Posted by on 3/4/2006

Mohammed Reza Taheriazar, an Iranian and graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill in 2005, plowed into a group of students on Friday afternoon.

The driver of an SUV that plowed into a group of pedestrians at UNC-Chapel Hill on Friday told police it was retribution for the treatment of Muslims around the world, according to ABC News.

Reader Ed C. from Raleigh e-mails Michelle Malkin:

Misleading lead sentence from ABC11: “The driver of an SUV that plowed into a group of pedestrians at UNC…”
Word “pedestrians” suggests that this event happened near traffic. Completely misleading.

“Pit” is sunken bricked area where students congregate. It is closely surrounded by buildings. There is no adjacent traffic. It can be accessed only via very small service access and not without carefully navigating to the pit area. There is not
even the remotest possibility that this was anything other than a deliberate vehicular assault. The students were not “pedestrians;” they were merely
students at a popular campus gathering spot, almost a courtyard.

I wonder how this will be twisted into the favor of Mohammed Reza Taheriazar
