Local NBC News Channel | Oct 23, 02 | MSNBC

[spycatcher]

MSNBC reporting sniper related digging and searching of a building in Tacoma WA. FBI is involved. May be related to something the sniper told police

[spokeshave]

" Massad Ayoob, director of the alarmingly named Lethal Force Institute, talked about firearms and self-defense. "

Ayoob is one of the good guys...probably one of the top instructors in defensive fire-arm tactics....check out his (numerous) books at your local gun shop.

This Just in...

For those who scratching heads over the 'lone nut' theory, it seems the FBI has gained search warrants for several persons and residents - nationwide.

- all related to the sniper case in the Washington D.C. area.

Stay tuned...

They wouldn't use a silencer - they're ILLEGAL...
Actually you can put a silencer on your gun out here in WA, you just can't shoot it. I believe you can in Idaho though.

Why would this indicate this is terrorism? Ted Bundy for example lived all around the country. And why would a terrorist be asking for ransom? I thought he would be doing for "Allah."

"What gets me is that I think the sniper may be watching this on tv and he's gonna go out tonight to do his thing. Pray that I'm wrong but the guy is bloodthirsty."

The only logical implications which none of the newfolks have picked up on is this. If they can link this site to the sniper, they have a name and probably have a photograph. The sniper is running now and can only be considered a desperado with nothing to lose. Maybe he'll give up or maybe something else.

Can you fill me in briefly on the "credit card" references. I'm behind the curve.

A neighbor is saying that he has had some problems with having his property set on fire and broken into. Wonder if that is significant or not?

=the USS Cole in 2000 and the 1996 bombing in Saudi Arabia.

Go to this link and then read some of the replies/comments.(Link to Islamakazi Terrorism in Seattle area with links to Portland)

A Tacoma Islamakazi/al fuqra was involved in the attempted setup of the al Qaeda training camp in rural Oregon. "The FBI has been able to establish a paper trail of activity in Bly, federal sources said. As a first step, prosecutors indicted the man who lived on the ranch and paid rent, Semi Osman of Tacoma, charging him with supporting terrorism and illegal weapon possession. Osman pleaded guilty to the weapon charge and agreed to testify against Ujaama and others.

Try this for size. Didn't they take someone off of an airplane from Russia at LaGuardia today? What if that person was related to the sniper and he was going to join him in MD. Maybe when he got caught, the guy from Russia ratted out the sniper.

I may be entirely wrong but think of this. Russia is next to Alaska which is north of Washington. Maybe this guy came into NYC instead of Tacoma so it would be easier for him to sneak in? WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE GUY PULLED OFF THE PLANE TODAY WHO WAS FROM RUSSIA? Anybody know?

Thanks Tom........

Terrorists need money to live, buy ammo, new guns, etc.

"The shooter will shoot again tonight or disappear completely...assuming of course that he isn't caught.IMO"

I disagree. In fact, based on this "FBI Broadway Show", my guess is that the shooter is already under surveillance, if not arrested.

[templar]

Shep just confirmed they are looking for someone related to the case who was a military person at Ft. Lewis.

I wonder if Ft Lewis has any specialized, supressed covert type weapons missing?

Is their county tax appraisal info online? (assuming they have property tax like that there) You can often see owners and ownership history...

OK, media is reporting new owners. The person across the street lives at 3309. But she could be across the street from 3307 if there's a street that cuts right there, and South Wright street does cross South Procter in the 3300 block. 3307 was sold in March 2002 for $60,000. Of course, 3310 might be the right address, and its rented out.

[DoughtyOne]

Heh heh heh... glad to see I'm among friends.

[ConservativeMan55]

I definately want to know what happened with that guy also.

[JRandomFreeper]

I've got the aerial photo I am trying to zoom in on the exact location/address.

Leave it to Freepers. We've got photo analysts researching aerial photos. LOL! The cops probably lurk just to get quicker access to intel.
