Air base crash has no known ties to terror, FBI agent says

ROSEVILLE, Calif. — A 51-year-old man drove a flaming minivan loaded with propane tanks and gasoline cans through the main gate of a major Northern California Air Force base, authorities said Friday, but said the driver had no known links to terrorism.

FBI agent Sean Ragan said Hafiz Kazi was found dead inside the Kia minivan Wednesday shortly after barreling through the main gate of Travis Air Force Base and crashing.

Ragan said five propane tanks, three one-gallon size gas cans and several lighters were found in the van along with three phones and a gym bag with “personal effects.”

“We don't have any nexus to terrorism at this point,” but investigators haven't determined a motive, Ragan said.

Kazi, who was originally from India, has lived in the U.S. since 1993.
