FBI: Bomb suspect agents shot dead was paranoid, hated Muslims

(CBS/AP) OKLAHOMA CITY - FBI documents say the man wanted in the bombing of a Florida mosque who was shot and killed when he pulled a gun on agents trying to arrest him in Oklahoma hated Muslims and had become increasingly erratic.

The FBI says Sandlin Smith of St. Johns County, Florida, was shot Wednesday in a field at Glass Mountain State Park in northwest Oklahoma.

FBI Agent Clayton Simmonds says agents opened fire when Smith pulled out an AK-47 assault rifle as they approached him.

The documents released Thursday say Smith recently pulled a gun on his niece, that he thought authorities were after him, and that "he was paranoid that everyone was a cop."

The documents say he hated Muslims because of "our men going overseas, fighting and dying."

Smith was facing several federal charges, including damage to religious property and possession of a destructive device, in connection with the May 10, 2010, bombing of the Islamic Center of Northeast Florida in Jacksonville. No one was hurt in that explosion, but authorities found remnants of a crude pipe bomb at the scene, and shrapnel from the blast was found a hundred yards away.
