Den 32 år gamle Zale Thompson, som ble skutt ned og drept etter å ha angrepet fire politifolk i New York med øks, hadde nylig konvertert til islam, skriver New York Post.

Officer Kenneth Healey, 25, had just four months on the job when Zale Thompson, 32, of Queens — a “scholarly” but “weird” ­recent convert to Islam — fractured the back of the cop’s skull with one swing of a blue-handled hatchet at about 2 p.m. in Jamaica.
