Man Arrested in Virginia for Attempted Beheading, Yelled “Allahu Akbar”

A Muslim man, Wasil Farooqui, was arrested this weekend in Virginia after he attempted to behead someone.

Witnesses say that Farooqui was screaming Allahu Akbar during the attack.

Wasil Farooqui, 20, of Roanoke County, Virgina, has been charged with two counts of aggravated malicious wounding and is being held without bond at the Western Virginia Regional Jail.

From ABC News:

The FBI has launched a federal terrorism investigation into a weekend stabbing in Roanoke, Va., looking at whether the attacker may have been trying to behead his victim in an alleged ISIS-inspired assault, sources tell ABC News.

Federal authorities have been aware of the alleged attacker, 20-year-old Wasil Farooqui, of the Roanoke area, for some time, sources familiar with the case told ABC News. In the past year, he traveled to Turkey and may have tried to sneak into Syria, where ISIS is recruiting and inspiring sympathizers from across the world, sources said.

Farooqui was arrested Saturday by Roanoke County Police on charges of assault with malicious wounding, and he’s being held without bond at the Western Virginia Regional Jail, according to the sources and a jail database.
