Sniper Search near Seattle (digging for evidence)

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

[CobaltBlue]

One of the neighbors just told a reporter that at one point the property owner's car was set on fire. He told her not to worry, it was directed at him only.

Sounds like one angry tenant.

Saddam could have a nuclear weapon the size of a washing machine already in the U.S. reports say.

[patriciaruth]

This terrorist is homegrown, he's white, and he's young.

Me, I'm hoping he's the marksman with French citizenship, possibly of Yugoslavian descent.

[Howlin]

How kind of you to say so..........ROFL.

[hispanarepublicana]

pinging you for post #421 (the one this is replying to). she's right. the yard is to small for "regular" target practice....isn't it?

[Shermy]

Department of Defense confirms interest in a former Fort Worth soldier.

The profile of targets scream terrorism. But this case has become so bizarre we might find the perp is a personality-type no one imagined.

The Tacoma angle is weird. Presumably first from or moved to the Maryland area.

[Arkinsaw]

That style is popular in Tacoma and in Lynnwood, WA too. In fact in every area surrounding Seattle.

Must be, they interviewed two people and both were mulletized.

Could be ground penetrating radar also.

Confessing ignorance in advacne, what would one look for with ground penetrating radar in a residential back yard? And what exactly is ground penetrating radar, a big truck mounted thing or a hand held metal detector type of thing.

Please post a screen cap of the neighbor interviewed on FNC with the long mullet haircut. Should be a good caption post or a good Hold Muh Beer alert

[LisaFab]

Please, the police aren't idiots. I'm certain that they are being thorough, and what you have suggested crossed their minds long ago.

I was referring to the media. They have been referencing the former GI in every update, while they have NO reason to believe he is the only suspect or even a suspect at all.

Not one media type is even SUGGESTING what many here think...that the fact that there are multiple search warrants across the country might be AQ-related.

Well do we have so al Fuqra thugs being exposed here?

Shortly after the hotel bombing in Portland, two Fuqra members allegedly murdered Dr. Mozaffar Ahmad, a leader of the minority Ahmadiyyah Islamic sect in Canton, Mich. Both suspects died in a fire they had set at the Ahmadiyyah mosque in nearby Detroit, but the weapon used to murder Ahmad was found with their bodies. No one was ever charged in a triple slaying on August 1, 1984, but police suspect Fuqra. The victims were Lela Nevaskar, an Indian national who was in the United States as part of a government-sponsored health project, and her sister and brother-in-law. The three were murdered in a suburb of Tacoma, Wash., during a spate of firebombings of Hindu and Hare Krishna temples in Seattle, Denver, Philadelphia, and Kansas City, Mo. Police found news reports of the Tacoma murders from Seattle papers among Fuqra files seized in a later case

careful about posting names of people on the net, who just happen to live nearby as neighbors on the block. someone could think they are connected. (sure, it's public information, but be careful...my humble opinion).

What's that chart all about, is it saying that 2002 is the year of the Komodo dragon?

[Right_in_Virginia]

Hi!

I had to get dinner (darn!)

Any summary as to where we are in the discussion?

[formerDem]

"Some forensic guy on Fox just said he's upset because the police are publicizing this. I would bet good $$$ that they didn't, but that some neighbor called, what do you think? "

I know this wasn't addressed to me, but I thought the same thing. I thought the Fox guest made some good points, but I'm sure the press got a tip from the local police or a neighbor and then showed up.

Shepherd (eddie haskell) Smith needs to take some ritalin. Let the field reporter (Brian?) take over.

[sinkspur]

BTW, haven't followed other posts about this by you. What is your reasoning, if you've got a minute?

Most serial killers are white men.

I haven't commented much, because much of what has been said on here is just wild-ass speculation with no basis in fact.

As is my hunch. So, take it for what it's worth, which is nothing. There'd be some credit-taking by al-Qaeda by now, if it were an al-Qaeda operation.

Also, it wouldn't surprise if it were ex-military. Like law enforcement, the military attracts some real cowboys.

Someone post the map of all known USA islami-fanatic terror cells...thanks

[Shermy]

Lots of Samoans in Washington. Go Huskies!

WMAL: sniper school at Fort Lewis, unit like SWAT team.

Jeeze....are you a stenographer?
Good work!
