The man who injured 11 people in an attack at Ohio State University may have been inspired by Islamic State and the late al Qaeda-linked cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, FBI special agent in charge Angela Byers said Wednesday.
Islamic State on Tuesday claimed responsibility for the attack by suspect Abdul Razak Ali Artan a day earlier at the Columbus campus.
Al-Awlaki was killed by a US drone strike in 2011.
