Man Who Shot Two Arkansas Soldiers Also Shot at Rabbi's Home

(AP-Washington Post) Abdulhakim Muhammad, who pleaded guilty to shooting two soldiers outside a military recruiting station in Arkansas, said he also fired 10 rounds at the home of Rabbi Eugene Levy in Little Rock days earlier, according to a letter he wrote to the FBI. In a letter dated November 24, 2009, Muhammad said he targeted Levy's house after researching Jewish leaders in Little Rock, Nashville, and Memphis. "Figured the FBI wasn't watching me anymore," he wrote. "I started my plans to attack recruitment centers, Jewish organizations, across America." He said he bought rifles, a pistol, ammunition and materials to make Molotov cocktails. On June 1, 2009, Muhammad said he decided to firebomb another rabbi's house in Nashville. He said he lobbed a Molotov cocktail at the home, but the fire blew out mid-air. Muhammad was sentenced to life in prison without parole this week.
