Señor Spielbergo will have to pay handsomely to use that as the title of his next bit of anti-semitic cinematic flummery.
Driver of SUV is charged with 9 counts of attempted murder
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - A recent University of North Carolina graduate was charged with nine counts of attempted murder Saturday, a day after authorities say he drove through a popular campus gathering spot in an attempt to avenge Muslim deaths.
Derek Poarch, chief of the university police department, confirmed Saturday that Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar, a 22-year-old Iran native, told investigators he wanted to ''avenge the deaths or murders of Muslims around the world.'' Poarch would not provide any other details on the motive.
Taheri-azar also is charged with nine counts of assault.
No one was seriously hurt in the incident just before noon Friday at The Pit, a sunken, brick-paved area surrounded by two libraries, a dining hall and the student union near the center of campus.
Luckily, our schools couldn't teach him how to drive, either.
Five students and a visiting scholar were treated at and released from hospitals, the university said in a statement. Three other people declined treatment, police said.
Taheri-azar is being held on a $5.5 million bond.
