An incident this week at a U.S. Air Force base in Northern California — in which a vehicle burst into flames after crashing through the main gate — is being treated as “an act of terrorism,” according to a report. FBI spokeswoman Gina Swankie and Travis spokesman Airman Christian Conrad declined to elaborate on the matter or identify the driver. Why?
Attack at Travis Air Force Base in California reportedly being treated as terrorism
Fox News, March 23, 2018:
An incident this week at a U.S. Air Force base in Northern California — in which a vehicle burst into flames after crashing through the main gate — is being treated as “an act of terrorism,” according to a report.
Authorities said a driver died, likely by igniting himself, after gaining “unauthorized access” to Travis Air Force Base in Solano County, about 55 miles northeast of San Francisco, on Wednesday night.
There was no further threat to the base, where approximately 7,000 active military members and 3,700 civilians live and work, Air Force officials said.
The FBI has also joined the investigation alongside base officials.
“The safety and welfare of our airmen, their families and our local community is our top priority,” Col. John Klein, commander of the 60th Air Mobility Wing at Travis, said in a news release.

“I am extremely proud of how our first responders quickly addressed the situation to keep Travis and the surrounding area out of harm’s way. We are fortunate to have enduring relationships with federal and local law enforcement, and will continue to work hand-in-hand with them through the investigative process.”
The vehicle was reportedly carrying propane tanks, and the driver is thought to have started the fire deliberately, is believed to have ignited himself, CBS News reported.
FBI spokeswoman Gina Swankie and Travis spokesman Airman Christian Conrad declined to elaborate on the matter or identify the driver.

Islam is so easy:
To get to heaven you die killing someone…
Christianity you live to save someone.
Gee, since this guy only killed himself, I’m not sure he qualifies for Paradise. I have to leave it to the imams, ayatullahs, sheiks, rogues, thieves and charlatans to decide if he actually gets his 72 houris.
They’ll appreciate his gesture.
This Muslim happened to be one of the dumber ones. He’s roasting in hell now.
Luke 16:19-31.
It’s in the Bible if you kill yourself you are going straight to hell, do not pass “Go” and do not collect $200.
What book, chapter and verse is that? Gen 9:6 “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man.
The penalty for murder is death and suicides are the executioner. Dante’s hell is not biblical.
There is that one and another in the New Testament which I cannot find offhand. But it is that part about “whoever harms ok one of God’s creations, it would be better if that man we’re never born.”
Matt 18:6 “If any of you put a stumbling block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were fastened around your neck and you were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Mark 9:42 “If any of you put a stumbling block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea.
Luke 17:2 It would be better for you if a millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea than for you to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
All three are in RED. Not sure I believe the new testament btw
Agreed. “Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” — John 15:13
Thank God these savages are so darn INCOMPETENT!
They don’t need to be good at anything. Murdering a few is fine as there will be many more Muslims doing the same thing.
That is not something the civilized world can count on. Look how incompetent we are- we elected Obama twice.
Sure, these “self-radicalized” losers may be incompetent, although that shooter in Arizona (NM?) recently certainly managed to kill a bunch of people. But that is not the entirety of what we face.
I am convinced nationwide voter fraud in blue states got traitor Obama elected both times.
The media, politicians, and government officials who deny the evil nature of Islam are the incompetent ones.
Do you know how many times a vote was taken to “investigate” Islam? I lost count. There is never enough votes. All they have to do is get a God dammed Quran and ideally a Hadith and READ IT. At most it would cost them $50.00 on the high side. No, they’d rather keep pretending there is nothing there and waste endless time and money of a fake Russian collusion witch hunt.
Never have I herd truer words you are exactly right and something should be done abut these incompetent FOOLS !
Failed Christians fail to love their enemies.
Failed Jews fail to curse their enemies.
Failed Muslims fail to kill their enemies.
The driver was simply a failure all around.
And yet people like you just fail…
At least it is a person. That is something NO moslem (the vilest of ALL creatures) can say …. As they are vermin, FAR lower than rats and cockroaches.
People like me fail to enlighten failures. Fascinating!! Thanks for the thought 🙂
“Yo Kareem……You suck Kareem !!”
Ted, from the movie “Ted”
i’ll rest easier knowing that the Fed Bureau of Islam is on the case. Anyone want to bet whether the word “muslim” will ever be uttered by the fbi when describing the human torch?
Aha … another White home-schooled, Right-wing, Christian, anti-Government Domestic terrorist …
until he isn’t. Corrections on-line on page 37.
With a Muslim name and family they can’t see to find.
How odd? Did his family FLEE the country?
I am sure it was an accident, he was likely having a sexual emergency and inadvertently drove onto the base while spanking his monkey and watching porn, its a cultural thing dontcha know
Did they find a goat amongst the charred remains?
Only the attacker dead and dead because he did not know what he was doing. That’s what I call a good day and a happy ending.
Hhhmmmm,… “a happy ending.”
We disagree on that.
Don’t be so islamophobic, merely a local “burning man” celebration through performing art, show some cultural diversity will you, this is california dontchaknow?
I am. It’s probably some islamic, jihadist
Why? Fear of offending Muslims. Effort to maintain “political correctness” which is denying the truth about a person, belief, or fact so as not to bring negative attention to same deserving negative attention. Laziness, ignorance and incompetence.
Of course they are so proud of every one blah, blah, blah…
Yaaaawwwnnnn.
It was a MUSLIM terrorist. When they HIDE the name you can bet on it.
When forced to release the name, there will be NO terrorism ties.
It’s the same old pattern of LIES and DECEIT.
The FBI is corrupt.
Savages
Crispy critter
Give will get you ten that the APs guarding the gate had empty sidearms as has been SOP since the days of Clinton, a.k.a. “The Unabanger”.
I wudda thought President Trump would have reversed that bullShiite by now.
I have been curious why there was no announcement of such, unless I just missed it.
The guards at the gate are unarmed, they don’t have any ammo.
Hey, if muzzzies want to light themselves on fire and die –I’m down with that. ?
???????
The headline should have read : “Islamist Filth Gains Access to a Military Installation”.
I prefer the term ‘muzzieScum’ to ‘Islamist Filth.’
And our fearless leaders want take our guns away … ???
And the IdiotLib ‘students,’ also . . . morons who’ve never paid a dime in income taxes and know nothing about history!!
The democrats and RINO’s must not be elected or muslims will destroy this nations.
They will continue on in there ways of denial,and when it happens to them they still will not understand!!
And that is because they are stupid gutless fools supported by same .
that is because satan their father has blinded their eyes to truth
“Authorities said a driver died, likely by igniting himself, after gaining “unauthorized access” to Travis Air Force Base in Solano County”.
Question:
Why aren’t our Air Force bases, as well as all of our other military bases, set up so that no one can gain unauthorized access to them?
Isn’t it time we started making it much more difficult for Islamic terrorists to carry out their attacks against us?
