    Moore Attack Suspect Has Criminal History And Concerning Facebook Page

    BY EVAN ANDERSON, NEWS 9

    MOORE, Oklahoma - The suspect, Alton Nolen, has a lengthy criminal history and a concerning Facebook page.

    We're taking a closer look at that and his background.

    We know he studied very briefly, a semester, at Langston University and was from Idabel, Oklahoma.

    The FBI is investigating Nolen's background including his social media presence.

    Investigators are trying to determine if the beheading, the vicious rage, is revenge over a lost job - or something completely different.

    Initially it was described as a workplace dispute. But, Moore Police have called in the FBI to assist them on this case.

    They may look to social media for clues, and Nolen has left quite the footprint on his Facebook page.

    Posted pictures seem to go from one extreme to the other, from the burning twin towers, to Osama Bin Laden.

    Several other posts rant about the sins of America in what appears to be a decidedly militant slant.

    There's even one, one that is very disturbing, of a beheading. All these were posted within the last six months.

    The page clearly reflects Nolen's conversion to Islam, and some of his co-workers tell us he was trying to convince others to join him.

    The suspected killer has had his share of run-ins with local authorities, although nothing compared to what happened Thursday evening.

    In 2006, Nolen plead guilty to possession of drugs with intent to distribute in Oklahoma City.

    In 2009, Langston authorities arrested him for possession, obstructing an officer and escape from detention.

    In 2010, he assaulted an OHP Trooper during a traffic stop.

    He served about two years in prison, from April 2011 to March 2013.

    Right now, authorities have not said if this was a pre-planned act of terror, or if Nolen acted out because of his firing from Vaughn Food's alone.

    Of course, the investigation continues.

    “He’s as far away from Islam as he could be,” Mosque that suspect attended is appalled by brutal attack

    BY ADAM SNIDER

    MOORE, Okla. – The investigation into a brutal attack in Moore took another turn Friday, after police announced the FBI’s involvement.

    The Bureau is looking into Alton Nolen’s attempts to convert co-workers to Islam. Now the mosque he attended wants it known, they won’t stand for this kind of act.

    “Like any American, any Oklahoman, my heart was broken,” said Imad Enchassi, Senior Imam for the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City.

    Thursday’s news rocked Enchassi, and the mosque he oversees.

    “I looked at the perpetrator’s picture, and didn’t recognize him,” said Enchassi. “I didn’t know who he was until the story started to unfold.

    As the story unfolded, Enchassi learned Alton Nolen attended his very mosque regularly, though he was not an official member.

    “[Nolen] identified himself as somebody out of jail, searching for spirituality,” said Enchassi. “Some of the people who saw his picture said he was an odd person…who exhibited odd and bizarre behavior.”

    His odd behavior included sleeping on the prayer floor, and improper handling of the Qur’an.

    His Facebook however told a different story, covered in ‘Radical Islamic’ posts.

    “This heinous crime he committed is outrageous,” said Enchassi. “I could tell you, if he claims to be a Muslim, he’s as far away from Islam as he could be.”

    “We condemn the action, we’re 100% against it,” said Saad Mohammed, board member for the ISGOC. “We send prayers to his family.”

    Now members of the mosque are shuttering, knowing a man allegedly capable of such brutality, once walked among them.

    “Having known he came here, it hurts me,” said Enchassi. “Maybe I could’ve reached out to him…and helped him.”

    Authorities Interview Hospitalized Suspect After Deadly Attack In Moore

    OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Police say a man who was shot after allegedly beheading a woman at an Oklahoma food processing plant from which he had just been fired has regained consciousness and will be charged with first-degree murder.

    Moore Police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis said Saturday that 30-year-old Alton Nolen remains hospitalized in stable condition. He says Nolen has regained consciousness and that investigators interviewed him.

    Lewis says Nolen will be charged on Monday with first-degree murder and assault and battery with a deadly weapon. He says Nolen could also face federal charges.

    Authorities say Nolen severed the head of 54-year-old Colleen Hufford during Thursday's attack at the Vaughn Foods plant in Moore, near Oklahoma City. They say Nolen was repeated stabbing another woman when a company executive shot him. That woman survived.

    OKLAHOMA BEHEADER LINKED TO AL QAEDA LEADER AWLAKI, BOSTON BOMBER'S MOSQUE

    by JORDAN SCHACHTEL

    Suhaib Webb, an Imam with ties to former Al Qaeda mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki, had also previously been the leader of the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City, which had been attended by Alton Nolen -- the man who on Thursday beheaded a former coworker after recently converting to Islam, Breitbart News has learned. Webb now serves as Imam of the sister organization of the mosque attended by Boston Marathon bombers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

    Imam Suhaib Webb has a history of ties to radicalism. FBI surveillance documents found that he was a known confidant of Al Qaeda mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki. Just two days before the September 11, 2001 attacks on
    America, Webb spoke at a fundraiser with Awlaki with hopes to raise funds for Atlanta-based H. Rap Brown, a man that shot and killed two police officers. The FBI documents also found that “Webb and Awlaki may be associated with the Muslim American Society,” which is a group described by the Investigative Project on Terrorism as being “founded as the United States Chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood.”

    Imam Webb’s bio from his new place of employment, the Islamic Society of Boston, states:

    While pursuing his bachelors degree Imam Webb studied privately with a renowned Muslim Scholar of Senegalese descent. After intense private training in various Islamic sciences, Imam Webb was hired as the Imam at the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City, where he not only provided Khutbas (Sermons) and religious classes but also counseled families and young people.

    The Islamic Society of Boston, which was attended by the Tsarnaev brothers during his tenure as Imam, has several within their ranks who have been charged with committing acts of Islamic Radicalism. The founder of the Mosque, Abdulrahman Alamoudi, was sentenced to 23 years in prison for his role for financing terror.

    After the Boston Marathon bombings, Webb had initially been invited to an interfaith memorial at the Holy Cross Cathedral, where president Obama was scheduled to speak. Imam Webb's invitation was then rescinded under mysterious circumstances at the last minute, according to reports.

    Writing in the Jewish Advocate last year, columnist Charles Jacobs described Imam Webb as someone who “teaches vicious hatred and calls for young Muslims to engage in Jihad against non-Muslims in order to establish a global Islamic state.”

    Additionally, a video from October showed Webb at a Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR) fundraiser calling for an Islamic State. The Islamic organization, a group that originally had secretly called itself the
    "Palestine Committee of the Muslim Brotherhood," was charged as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing case in American history, known as the Holy Land Foundation Trial.

    Oklahoma beheading: Alton Nolen charged with first degree murder at bedside hearing


    The Oklahoma man suspected of beheading a former co-worker and stabbing another has been charged with murder at a special bedside sitting in hospital.

    Alton Nolen had been undergoing surgery after being shot by another employee who tried to thwart the attack at the Vaughan Foods distribution plant in Moore, outside Oklahoma city.

    Nolen is accused of killing Colleen Hufford, 54, and stabbing Traci Johnson, 43, who were apparently attacked randomly.

    Police believe the accused returned to the food factory shortly after being fired from his job.

    Alton Nolen was charged with first degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon when he emerged from sedation, said Moore police sergeant Jeremy Lewis.

    Sergeant Lewis said the reasons for the attack remained unclear but Nolen had reportedly tried to convert his colleagues to Islam.

    Community pays tribute to victims of Moore attack

    BY KFOR-TV & L. NOLAND

    MOORE, Okla. – Friends and family are remembering the woman who was killed and another woman seriously hurt in the workplace attack last week in Moore, Okla.

    Police say Alton Nolen,30, had been fired from Vaughan Foods and then returned to the business.Loved ones are now sharing pictures on a Facebook page dedicated to the memory of Colleen Hufford, the 54-year-old wife, mother, and grandmother, who was killed in the attack at Vaughan Foods.

    Investigators say Nolen started attacking Colleen Hufford with a knife and then beheaded her.

    Nolen is expected to be officially charged Tuesday.

    Family members have asked anyone wanting to make a donation in Hufford’s honor to give to either Catholic Charities or OU Children’s Hospital.

    The second victim, Traci Johnson, 43, who was attacked while working at Vaughan Foods has been released from the hospital and is now recovering.

    Authorities with the Moore Police Department say after attacking Hufford, Nolen is accused of stabbing 43-year-old Traci Johnson numerous times before being shot by Mark Vaughan, the former CEO of the company and a reserve sheriff’s deputy.

    Traci’s family and friends have set up a GoFundMe page to help her recover. In a phone conversation, Johnson’s grandfather says Johnson is “sore” but doing well.

    A memorial for the victims also stands outside Vaughan Foods processing plant in Moore, Okla.

    A company spokesperson says employees went back to work Monday.

    Each shift began with a group gathering and crisis counselors were also on hand.

    Oklahoma man charged with murder in beheading

    By Sean Murphy
    The Associated Press

    NORMAN, Okla. – A man who had been suspended from his job was charged Tuesday with first-degree murder in the beheading of a co-worker, who was attacked from behind as the man sought revenge, a prosecutor said Tuesday.

    Alton Nolen, 30, could face the death penalty for Thursday’s deadly attack on Colleen Hufford, 54, at the Vaughan Foods plant in Moore. He also faces two assault charges.

    The FBI is also investigating, given Nolen’s interest in beheadings and a recent surge in Middle East violence. Nolen had recently converted to Islam but Cleveland County Prosecutor Greg Mashburn said it appeared Nolen’s assault was tied more to his suspension.

    Mashburn said Vaughan’s human resources department suspended Nolen earlier Thursday after another co-worker, Traci Johnson, had complained that she had had an altercation with Nolen “about him not liking white people.”

    The prosecutor said Nolen fetched a knife from home and “returned to get revenge.” He walked into the plant’s administrative office in suburban Oklahoma City, Mashburn said. Nolen came across Hufford first and attacked her from behind, severing her head.

    He then turned his attention to Johnson, 43, who was repeatedly stabbed, but survived.

    The company’s chief operating officer, Mark Vaughan, a reserve sheriff’s deputy in Oklahoma City, levelled a rifle at Nolen and fired, striking him once and stopping the attack.

    Mashburn said it was “highly likely” that he would seek the death penalty against Nolen, but would confer first with Hufford’s family.

    While the FBI is investigating, and while he believed Nolen was using Arabic terms during the attack, Mashburn said the attack seemed to be tied more to the complaints against him.

    “It had more to do with race rather than trying to convert people,” Mashburn said. He said there was a “back and forth with Ms. Johnson and that led her to make a complaint to the HR department.”

    “There was some sort of infatuation with beheadings. It seemed to be related to his interest in killing someone that way,” the prosecutor said. “Other than that, it seemed to be related to his being suspended earlier in the day.”

    Nolen’s mother and sister posted a video message on Facebook over the weekend saying they were shocked and saddened by the allegations against him.

    “My son was raised up in a loving home. My son was raised up believing in God,” his mother, Joyce Nolen, said in the video. “Our hearts bleed right now because of what they’re saying Alton has done.”

    A cousin, 29-year-old James Fulsom, told The Associated Press that as recently as February, Nolen did not mention his conversion to Islam in conversations.

    Oklahoma prison records show Nolen was released from prison in March 2013 after serving two years of a six-year sentence on charges that included assaulting a police officer and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute.

    Nolen received no misconduct reports during his incarceration at five separate facilities, Department of Corrections spokesman Jerry Massie said. Nolen completed his probation in March of this year.
