The woman suspected of stabbing an American teacher to death in a shopping mall in Abu Dhabi carried out a "personal terrorist attack" after she was inspired by terrorist ideology, the official Emirati news agency reports.

The woman, identified by police to ABC News as Dalal al Hashemi, "selected her victims randomly" and targeted anyone who looked foreign, a security source told the WAM news agency.

After stabbing Ibolya Ryan in the Reem Island Boutiq mall bathroom, police say Hasehmi, 38, drove across town to the home of an Egyptian-American doctor. She entered his apartment building pulling a black suitcase and left a homemade explosive device outside his door made of gas canisters and nails.

"The investigations show that the accused has recently logged into some terrorist websites through which she acquired the terrorism ideology and learnt how to manufacture explosives," the source said. "After scrutiny, the seized materials used in manufacturing were shown to be primitive."

Ryan, a 47-year-old mother of 11-year-old twin boys and a 13-year-old daughter, had been teaching in the United Arab Emirates for more than a year and was also mentoring other teachers, her family said in a statement Saturday. She will be buried in Romania, where she was born and raised.

Police on Thursday released video showing them arresting Hashemi and dismantling the homemade explosive left outside the door of the doctor.

In surveillance video from the mall, the weapon shown appears to be a large kitchen knife. The video ends with onlookers pointing at the suspect and trying to stop her as she ran to an elevator and left the mall.

the only thing surprising about the incident, is that it was not in the USA, so they can use the word "terrorist" in the article
