Virginia killer was South Korean

Latest news says that the Virginia killer was a South-Korean:
The Virginia Tech Police Department identified him as Cho Seung-Hui, 23, a senior in the English department.
It will be interesting to see how the Chinese element came into this play. Hope to hear more from our Taiwanese student at Virginia Tech. The South-Korean could of course still have applied for his US visa in Shanghai, but it seems rather unlikely.

Well, his name sounds chineese, I mean this suffix "Hui", that he added to his name. Hui in Chineese means "Muslim":

It is not uncommon in general for Korean names to have chineese origin.
