Washington. Police in the US have arrested a former University of Delaware student with heavy weapons, dozens of rounds of bullets, body armor and a dangerous manifesto. The 25-year-old student was caught just before midnight on November 24 while he was sitting in a pickup in suspicious circumstances in the park. According to the officials, when the truck was searched after becoming suspicious of his behaviour, everyone was shocked to see the sight inside.
According to media reports, police found a .357 Glock pistol, several loaded magazines of 27 rounds and body armor plates. According to the prosecution, this pistol was fitted in such a kit that it could function like a semi-automatic rifle. This makes it clear that this stockpile of weapons was not for any ordinary use. He was captured after an Afghan national attacked two National Guardsmen near the White House just a few days ago. A notebook was found with this person, in which dangerous things were written.
The biggest concern was the notebook that was recovered with him. It contained handwritten notes containing an alleged plan to attack the University of Delaware Campus Police Department. The notebook also contained a drawn map of the headquarters, where entry and exit points were marked. According to a report, it contained the strategy to escape from the police after the attack, details of the weapons to be used and many such things which the police are calling a ‘pre-planned attack’.
According to the report, after his arrest, Lukman allegedly said that becoming a martyr is one of the greatest things. For the police, this statement was going to further increase the seriousness of this alleged conspiracy. The name of a campus police officer was also included in the plans, but it is not yet clear why he was the target. It is being told that the arrested student was born in Pakistan, but has been living in America since childhood and is an American citizen. After his arrest, his house was raided and weapons were recovered from there. The investigating agency is now trying to understand whether Lukman was working alone or someone else was also involved.
