Burqa ghost murderer in Abu Dhabi

The folks at Vocativ sent us a link to their story of the burqa-clad “lone wolf” murderer in Abu Dhabi where a personin traditional female garb followed Romanian-born American kindergarten teacher Ibolya Ryan into the ladies’ room and brutally stabbed her to death;

It’s a pretty eerie video, helped by the musical scoring. From Fox News;

Col. Rashid Borshid, head of the Criminal Investigation Department, told The Associated Press that a fight broke out between the victim and the attacker in the women’s restroom just before the stabbing.

Authorities revealed Thursday that the attacker also planted a bomb outside the home of an American doctor, but police dismantled it after it was discovered by a son of the physician. The bomb was primitive, and included small gas cylinders, a lighter, glue and nails, Interior Minister Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan said.

Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who is also deputy prime minister, said the attacker targeted her victims based on their nationality alone in an attempt to create chaos and terrorize the country. He called the stabbing a crime that is “alien to our secure country.”

Fox also reports that authorities tell them that they’ve arrested a woman who they think is the murderer.

Vocativ says that ISIS media is calling for similar attacks on foreigners in the Arab world;

Now ISIS is encouraging supporters to conduct similar female “burqa attacks” against Americans and foreigners in the Middle East.

In the last few hours, official ISIS social media channels have been circulating the hashtag #????????_???????? (#TheLoneBurqa), in reference to the “lone wolf” terrorist attack method, glorifying the attack in Abu Dhabi and calling for more like it. Vocativ previously reported that ISIS has called to single out American teachers in the Middle East as easy targets.

Yeah, single out teachers so you can perpetuate the ignorance in that part of the world.
