[Breaking news updated, 10:06 a.m. PT: The man suspected of shooting and injuring a Philadelphia police officer Thursday night confessed that he did so in the name of Islam, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross Jr. told reporters Friday.
In the meantime, details of Archer's background gradually emerged Friday.
Reached at her home in Lansdowne, his mother, Valerie Holliday, said Archer was the eldest of seven children and suffered head injuries from playing football and a moped accident.
"He's been acting kind of strange lately. He's been talking to himself . . . laughing and mumbling," Holliday said. "He's been hearing voices in his head. We asked him to get medical help."

Mohammed (the so-called prophet) heard voices in his head and killed people, too. That makes the formerly-named Edward Archer very , doesn't it?

Lindh is a devout Muslim who prefers to be known by the name he legally adopted in Yemen: Abu Sulayman al-Irlandi
