A day before Montco’s “Jihad Jane” was introduced to the public, another local was accused of terroristic acts and involvement with Al-Qaeda.
Sharif Mobley, 26, of Buena Borough, N.J. is accused of going on a shooting rampage in a Yemeni hospital on Monday, according to sources.
Yemeni officials claim Mobley is a member of Al-Qaeda and a wanted suspect in several terrorist attacks. Media reports say he was being hospitalized in Sanaa, Yemen for an undetermined health problem when he tried to evade custody, according to the AFP. He was unsuccessful.
Sources say Sharif Mobley may be linked to al-Qaeda and is accused of shooting Yemeni police guards He’s accused of shooting one police guard to death and seriously injuring another after grabbing a gun from one of the men, the AFP says.
Mobley’s parents tell NBC Philadelphia that their son is a “good Muslim and absolutely not a terrorist.”
They did confirm that FBI agents visited their home and the last time they heard from Sharif was in late January. He was in Yemen at that time.
FBI officials won’t confirm Mobley’s connection to al-Qaeda, but sources say federal authorities are interested in the man.
