US sniper 'linked to terror cult'
By James Langton in New York, Evening Standard
14 October 2003
Evidence has emerged linking Washington sniper John Allen Muhammad with an Islamic terror group.
Muhammad has been connected to Al Fuqra, a cult devoted to spiritual purification through violence.
The group has been linked to British shoe bomber Richard Reid and the murderers of American journalist Daniel Pearl in Pakistan last year.
Muhammad today stands trial for murder after bringing terror to America's suburbs along with a 17-year-old accomplice, Lee Malvo.
Until now many believed that the killing spree, which left 10 dead, was the work of a loner. But investigators suspect the 42-year-old former soldier was an Islamic terrorist and believe his insanity plea is a cover story to disguise his support for fundamentalists.
It seems clear that Muhammad saw his actions as linked to earlier terrorist outrages in America. He bought his Chevrolet Caprice car used in the attacks on the first anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

I don't believe a word of it. He isn't a straight white male Christian gun-owning member of the Republican party.

I knew it was al Qaeda - and likely the government did as well - almost from the first day.
To: Prince Charles
I wonder if the prosecution is going to say anything about this at the trials of the snipers.
If there was a conspiracy, shouldn't other people be facing criminal charges?
To: Prince Charles
Hey the guy is a mass murderer and a muslim. So why the hesistation to call him a muslim terrorist? Why the need to find "links" to a terror group? There is no need to find a "link" to a "group". Islam is the terror group.

And the libs want to ban assault rifles so terrorists can't get them. What a solid solution.

"Terror Cult". Interesting choice of words, especially with the young guy pleading insanity. My first reading didn't equate "terror" with terrorism. I guess that may have been the intent....

Muhammad has been connected to Al Fuqra... I hope this POS is connected to three chemicals by way of a gurney and a needle.

Hel-lo. What'd they think he was in the "Mickey Mouse Club for Snipers?"
To: struwwelpeter
Chief Moose probably knew it too, and apparently did a good deal to throw investigators off the trail.
To: aristeides
I agree... and I think Chief Moose should be one of those facing renewed scrutiny.
