Last week, a 51-year old man drove a flaming minivan filled with propane tanks and gasoline onto Travis Air Force base located an hour outside San Francisco. He was identified as Hafiz Kazi.

Law enforcement officials described the incident as possible terrorism. Authorities extracted a video from one of the attacker’s three mobile phones and are analyzing it to find a motive.
