CRIME | NOV 12, 2015 | BY MARTIN BARILLAS California, law enforcement authorities claimed to have seen no evidence, however, of any political or religious motivations for Mohammad’s attack at the university he attended. However, the California college student whose stabbing spree left four wounded, carried a handwritten manifesto and a vow “to cut someone’s head off,”  as well as many as five reminders to “praise Allah,” law enforcement authorities told Fox News.


A college freshman at the University of California-Merced, a Muslim of  American birth - Faisal Mohammad – was reportedly already on a federal terrorist watch list before committing a stabbing attack in California. Mohammad also in a local Islamic State (also known as ISIS) threat matrix. On November 4, Mohammad stabbed four people on campus but was unable to kill them. While fleeing authorities, he was shot to death by local police.

Subsequently, authorities determined that he had intended to secure his victims with zip-ties and then behead them in much the same fashion that Islamic State terrorists have butchered their victims in Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, and Syria.

Police also found a printout of the signature black flag of the Islamic State, a symbol which has been used for centuries by Muslim armies that swept from the Arabian wastes and across the Middle East and Africa and into Europe. Investigators also found Mohammad’s manifesto in which he praised Allah, which some have taken to mean that this was an act of jihad or holy war. In addition, Mohammad was a regular worshipper at a local mosque....

California, law enforcement authorities claimed to have seen no evidence, however, of any political or religious motivations for Mohammad’s attack at the university he attended. However, the California college student whose stabbing spree left four wounded, carried a handwritten manifesto and a vow “to cut someone’s head off,”  as well as many as five reminders to “praise Allah,” law enforcement authorities told Fox News.

Additionally, according to Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke, Mohammad had a numerical list of the plans to carry out. In the two-page document, the 18-year-old Muslim gave an outline of his plans for capturing and beheading his victims. Warnke said, “No. 27 was to ‘make sure people are tied down,’ No. 28 was “sit down and praise Allah.'” “I remember seeing four or five times, scribbled on the side of the two-page manifesto, where he wrote something like ‘praise Allah,’” said Warnke, who added, “I remember seeing four or five times, scribbled on the side of the two-page manifesto, where he wrote something like ‘praise Allah.’”

However, Warnke opined, “There was nothing to indicate he was doing this because of Allah, or because he was going to be rewarded with 72 virgins, or because of ties to a terror group,” Warnke said. “He appeared to be a devout Muslim, on the strong side of the belief.”

In a report by Matthew Gonzalez of Merced County News, Mohammad was not only on the FBI terrorist list, but also on the national watch list and had been one of the topics of discussion at a recent FBI briefing to Merced County law enforcement leaders. Among the topics discussed at the meeting were the suspected terrorists in the area who are believed to have links to the Islamic State. According to Gonzalez, based on FBI analysis and the number of persons on the terrorist watch list, an attack at the UC Merced campus appeared imminent.

However, the FBI has categorically denied being aware of derogatory information about Mohammad, or had been the subject of FBI investigation, in advance of the attack. The Merced County Sheriff’s Department has handed off the investigation to federal authorities after Sheriff Warnke later admitted that new information had arisen in the case. In a report by the Merced Sun-Star, a law enforcement official who spoke under the condition of anonymity stated that this was because of the clothing style selected by Mohammad, the flag printout in his possession, and the websites he viewed before the attack.
