Mohamed Abdi Mohamed researched the New York attack the night before he tried to run over two Jewish men in Los Angeles last year, detective says.
Police had initially expressed concern about the similarities between the incident outside the synagogue and other terrorist attacks around the globe that have involved the use of vehicles to ram pedestrians.
Mohamed had tried to buy a firearm twice in Washington several years ago, but was denied by gun shop owners who believed he was behaving strangely, De Larkin testified. He had driven to California from Seattle in a stolen car a month before the attack outside Congregation Bais Yehuda, but he was arrested in Citrus Heights in Sacramento County, De Larkin said. Charges were not filed in that incident.
De Larkin was the only witness called during Wednesday’s hearing. Dressed in a yellow jumper and speaking in a low voice, Mohamed asked a series of seemingly disconnected questions on cross-examination. He prodded De Larkin about his search of the car and asked why no one searched his wallet, before moving onto an unrelated point.
