A Georgia Tech graduate student who set himself on fire while apparently experimenting with bomb-making elements in his apartment last month has died, officials confirmed Thursday.
Saamer Akhshabi, an Iranian national, had burns on more than 90 percent of his body following the February 4 explosion in his apartment near the university, where Akhshabi was studying in the College of Computing.
Law enforcement officials investigating the case found in Akhshabi's apartment an apparent Molotov Cocktail and multiple plastic bottles filled with gasoline and kerosene.
Following the explosion, 26-year-old Akhshabi was taken in critical condition to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, where he died on Thursday.
'We have worked closely with other law enforcement agencies during the investigation of this tragic incident,' Robert Connolly, interim police chief for Georgia Tech, said in an emailed statement to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. 'The FBI has relayed that, to date, they have not developed any information or evidence indicating criminal intent in this investigation.'
Law enforcement officials determined that Akhshabi wasn't a threat to the Georgia Tech community, but it remains unclear what he planned to do with the explosive material found in his apartment.
I'll toast any more of these "tragic" incidents! ::beertoast::

I'm at a loss as to which part of Iranian national and experimenting with bomb making didn't compute...

I'd bet that it was ignored. "Racist", ya know......

And why do we even have Iranian nationals at any of our universities? Given the officially severed diplomatic relations between us and them, shouldn't all their nationals be persona non grata?

Must have been part of that NASA outreach no doubt.
All followers of that Satanic cult should enjoy a similar demise.
