A lone-wolf jihadist?

According to ABC11TV , the Iranian-born driver of an SUV that plowed into a group of university students and other pedestrians at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill on Friday told police it was retribution for the treatment of Muslims around the world.

... Paramedics took six people - - five students and a visiting scholar - - were treated for minor injuries and released from UNC Hospitals. ..

...Police say they arrested the suspect, Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar, 22, of Chapel Hill, shortly after the incident. He reportedly called police shortly after the incident and surrendered a few miles from campus. Police said they would charge Taheri-azar with nine counts of attempted murder.
