Man says he represents ISIS, threatens co-worker

It appears to be a strange coincidence.

On the same day (Friday) Moore police announced the deadly attack inside Vaughan Foods, Oklahoma City officers arrested a fired nursing home employee for threatening to cut off a co-worker's head.

Police tell Newsok.com, Jacob Murithi had been working at the Bellevue Nursing Home in northwest Oklahoma City.

He's said to have threatened the unidentified co-worker on Sept. 19.

She told officers Murithi identified himself as a Muslim.  He then mentioned he "represented ISIS and that ISIS kills Christians."

He's currently at the Oklahoma County Jail on a terrorism count.  Police say his bail is set at $1 million.
