In a not entirely shocking statement, it appears ISIS has claimed responsibility for yesterday’s OSU attacks by Abdul Razak Ali Artan….

Ironically, this tweet arrived minutes after White House press Secretary Josh Earnest explained…
OSU attacker “may have been motivated by extremism” & “a desire to carry out an act of terrorism.”
Seemingly dismissing the attackers own warnings of US interventionism being to blame…
“I am sick and tired of seeing my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters being killed and tortured EVERYWHERE. … I can’t take it anymore. America! Stop interfering with other countries … [if] you want us Muslims to stop carrying lone wolf attacks.”
And instead blaming Russia…
Earnest warns Russia: “This kind of violence and chaos in Syria only fuels extremism in Syria and around the world.”
