Terror Group: Family Contact and Police Officers

terror group: Friends and relatives of Ahmed Aminamin El-Mofty have described him as depressed over a lack of family contact and money problems, Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico said, according to Metro News. At this point in time there is no known nexus to any organized terrorist group or terrorist activity, Marsico said. An Egyptian immigrant who wounded a Pennsylvania state trooper and fired at other police officers before being killed has not been connected with any organized terror group or terrorist activity, a prosecutor said Thursday. El-Mofty is believed to have acted alone when he began firing from his vehicle on Dec. 22 in downtown Harrisburg, a few blocks from the state capitol building. No one was injured in the initial shootings, which generated a large police response. He then fired several shots at a marked Capitol Police vehicle. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
