The man who attacked
people in an Ohio restaurant with a machete
Thursday and later was fatally shot by a policeman
was from the West African nation of Guinea, an
FBI spokesman said.
Spokesman Todd Lindgren said in a statement
Monday that it would be premature to discuss
what motivated the attack or details of the
investigation.
Authorities haven't released many details about
the attacker, 30-year-old Mohamed Barry, or his
background. A police spokesman said information
connected to the registration of the car Barry
drove triggered an alert that required contacting
the local terrorism task force, which contacted the
FBI.
The Columbus police chief has said Barry wasn't
known to police.
Four people were hurt in the assault at Nazareth
Restaurant and Deli, on the north side of
Columbus.
