I caught some quotations from Asan Akbar's mom on Fox News. This part is paraphrased because I don't remember it exactly: "He never would have done something like this." This part is quoted exactly (I wrote it down): "He loved the army . . . . He just wanted to blow up bridges." I'm sure blowing up bridges is a lot of fun, and it's certainly part of the job description of an army engineer, but it would have helped if she had claimed that he was equally interested in building bridges.
