LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – A Muslim man accused of killing a soldier in a "political and religious" attack on a military recruiting center in Arkansas has pleaded not guilty to a capital murder charge.
Abdulhakim (ahb-DOOL hah-KEEM) Muhammad was ordered held without bail at a hearing Tuesday in Little Rock.
He is charged in Monday's death of 23-year-old William Long outside an Army-Navy Career Center in Little Rock.
A prosecutor said Muhammad admitted shooting Long and another soldier "because of what they had done to Muslims in the past."
Long and soldier Quinton Ezeagwula had recently completed basic training and had never seen combat.
Police Chief Stuart Thomas said Muhammad was a convert to Islam and not part of a broader scheme to attack the American military.
