The head of the Colorado Corrections Department was assassinated at his home last night.
First thought? This is related to the magazine ban somehow.
Upon further review? This is much more interesting.
UPDATE: It appears the prisoner in the link above was affiliated with Anwar al-Awlaki.
Al-Turki’s company holds the copyright to “The Lives of the Prophets,” a CD set of Islamic sermons that tell stories about Muslim prophets recorded by the U.S.-born radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed along with his 16-year-old son in a drone strike in Yemen in 2011.
Interesting, but I’m not getting the connection between al-Turki and the shooter. On the news here all they have reported is the 211 crew gang connection with the shooter. Nothing about this saudi deal.
Thing #1: this post was published before the shooter was killed by Texans.
Thing #2: This says the 211 crew exclusively recruits from inside prisons, and the members are required to make money for the gang when they leave. I’d say this makes a pretty good candidate for a paid-for hit by al Turki.
