The sniper's plan: kill six whites a day for 30 days

One of the two snipers who murdered 10 people in a killing spree that terrorised Washington has revealed their plans to kill hundreds of children, policemen and rescue workers in an attempt to shut down cities across the country.
John Allen Muhammad, 45, and his accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, 21, brought America's capital to a standstill in 2002 as they picked off white targets at petrol stations and shops in the city's prosperous suburbs.
Muhammad: ‘a coward’
Malvo testified that Muhammad, driven by hatred of America because of its "slavery, hypocrisy and foreign policy" and his belief that "the white man is the devil", planned to kill six whites a day for 30 days.
Malvo alleged that Muhammad had said: "We are going to go to the Washington DC area and we are going to terrorise these people."
They then intended to move to Baltimore for stage two of their campaign, to shoot a policeman and then blow up explosives at his funeral.
More explosives would target the ambulances that would then rush to the funeral. Another plan to kill three busloads of school children was thwarted because the pair were arrested when Malvo fell asleep while keeping watch at a Maryland petrol station.
Malvo: couldn't shoot a pregnant white woman
Muhammad's ultimate plan, Malvo testified, was to indoctrinate 140 young homeless men at a Canada compound who would "shut things down" in cities across America, unless they received £5 million.
Malvo had originally confessed to being the man who pulled the trigger because, as the younger defendant, he was likely to escape the death penalty. He has now admitted only one killing.
The other murders were allegedly carried out by Muhammad, who crawled into the back of their converted blue Chevrolet and shot the victims as they filled their cars with petrol, did their shopping or waited at bus stops.
The attacks left the Washington suburbs transfixed with terror. People knelt down by their rear wheels to pump petrol or sprinted into shops from their cars to avoid the snipers.
Muhammad had treated Malvo like an adopted son, but now the two have turned on each other in a dramatic courtroom confrontation as Muhammad, acting as his own lawyer, cross-examines his former accomplice.
Malvo's cross-examination, which began on Tuesday, continued yesterday before a court in Rockville, Maryland, outside Washington.
"I think he's a coward," Malvo said of the man he had called his father, before turning to him in court and calmly saying: "You took me into your house and made me a monster. You fed me, you clothed me and you made me your child."
Malvo further testified that Muhammad wanted him to shoot pregnant white women. At one moment, he even had a pregnant woman in his sights in a fast-food restaurant.
"I just couldn't take the shot," said Malvo. Between asking questions of his old protégé, Muhammad watched calmly, his chin resting on his hand, as Malvo, on the verge of tears, revealed the full gruesome extent of their plans.
In each attack, Malvo, on look-out duty, gave the order to fire to Muhammad who lay in the back of the car,
pointing his rifle through a hole cut above the rear number plate. When there were no witnesses, Malvo gave the signal to shoot, saying: "You got a go." Muhammad has been convicted of murder in Virginia where he is on Death Row and is now on trial for six of the killings in neighbouring Maryland.
Muhammad claims that both men are innocent of the six murder charges, while Malvo has already pleaded guilty, accepting six life sentences without parole.
Maryland prosecutors wanted a second trial in case the Virginia conviction is overturned on appeal.
the mind of mohammed(s)
Alright, so he didn't plea bargain and wants to play ball. So far, so good. This means that Muhammed gets death, unless we get another spoiler like in the Moussaui case.
This article doesn't make sense. They didn't discriminate when shooting. Black, white, it didn't matter. This was about Jihad!
agreed, they are really going all out to hide his Islam affiliation, cowards all
Why is it that the Islamic conection of this terrorism is completely ignored by the MSM, et al? These are more than hate-crimes.
What a bunch of creeps!
I don't care what the reason was, killing 3 busloads of schoolchildren is disgusting. What a sick world we live in :-(
Because they know that the American people would actually revolt!
I'm actually shocked that we haven't had a Muslim sniper in every major city in the country. Maybe its because unless you were near here during the snipings, you didn't see the actual terror that was going on... And I'm in Pennsylvania!
As long as we're strolling down Memory Lane...
Baltimore was sketchy here for a while during this.
Doesn't really matter what Maryland does, since he's already been sentenced to death in Virginia.
Cheeth Mooth, the black Barney Fife!
So why aren't we hearing "hate crime" shouted from the rooftops by groups such as the ACLU?
It sounds like Jihad now, but does anyone remember the story about his ex-wife? She lived very close to where the killings were happening. Jo-Ann's fabric store was one of the places besides gas stations where he was doing the shooting. She used to be a super craft person frequenting Jo-Ann's all the time, which he knew. She was fearful that his plan was to disguise her murder in a broad terrorist "random death" at Jo-Ann's and then he would get the kids back...orsomething like that. Anyone vaguely remember that?
I remember that clearly.
So where's the hate crime charge?
>>>>Muhammad's ultimate plan, Malvo testified, was to indoctrinate 140 young homeless men at a Canada compound who would "shut things down" in cities across America, unless they received £5 million.
What is a Canadian Compound?
They want him on death row in Md in case Va has an issue with killing him/them.
One of these two shot and killed a black man, who in fact was known by a Freeper.
Both of these animals should be destroyed.
