LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — The man charged with killing one soldier and wounding another outside a Little Rock recruiting center says he tried and failed to carry out other attacks.

The claim by Abdulhakim Muhammad is in a report filed Tuesday by a state doctor who examined Muhammad and says he’s fit to stand trial.

The report says Muhammad claims to have tried to firebomb the home of an unidentified rabbi in Nashville, Tenn. It also says he claims to have targeted an Army recruiting center in Florence, Ky., but it was closed when he arrived.

Muhammad is charged with capital murder, attempted capital murder and 11 other counts for the June 1, 2009, shooting outside a west Little Rock recruiting center. His attorney didn’t comment on the report.
