SCOTTSDALE, Arizona (WNB) - After weeks of nobody coming forward to claim the body of San Bernardino female terrorist Tashfeen Malik, a wealthy Arizona businessman has offered to do so as an act of compassion. The offer comes as authorities said they would be forced to cremate the remains if her body was not claimed - something that is expressly forbidden in the Islam religion.
Noted philanthropist and online news magnate, Scooter Van Neuter, announced Monday his intention to claim Malik's body and provide a gravesite. "Look, regardless of what this woman has done, she's still somewhat of a human. I feel compelled to give her a fitting final resting place."
A spokesman for Van Neuter said Malik's body will be preserved and placed on display at his corporate headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona (artist's rendering below).
