Murder at the Olympics in Beijing

The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that an American businessman was murdered by a Chinese man at a tower in Beijing. The murderer then committed suicide (H/T: Power Line).

There's no mention of it here, but the question raised by PL is if the assailant was Muslim, and if this could be a sign of terrorist attacks at the Olympics.

My condolences to the family of the victim.

Update: regarding Islamic terrorism in China, here's an important entry from Counterterrorism Blog.
