Let's hope the sniper is not a booby trap specialist.

This case gets more surreal by the minute.

Local Connection To D.C. Sniper?

By KOMO Staff
October 23, 2002

TACOMA - FBI agents are searching in the backyard of a Tacoma duplex for some sort of evidence that might be linked to the D.C.-area sniper.

Agents were meticulously sweeping the backyard of the duplex near the corner of Center and Proctor Streets with metal detectors, but the FBI will not say what they're looking for.

Deborah Waters, a witness to the scene who lives across the street, says that agents had retrieved some sort of large object and put it in the back of a van. It's not known what the object is.

Fox news just showed video of what looked like a LEO using a geiger counter.

Does this mean organized Muslim terror? That was my first thought.

Whoa, I have chills. If there are various search warrants around the country, could it be AQ like many of us have been saying all along? Oooh, searching for a body in Tacoma, Washington. It's related to the sniper case. Shep says 3k miles away, a tip leads the FBI to a backyard on Proctor Street. The FBI is on scene. Chainsaws, metal detectors. They are searching for a body. BRIAN WILSON SAYS: Wilson can't discuss but similar search warrants are being served as we speak in different locations around the country. First visible sign of a major action by the police that may be related to the sniper case. Info sketchy. Very reliable sources - search warrants. First one is in Tacoma, Washington, looking for a body at a house. SHEP: Safe to say this came from a tip? BRIAN: I don't know. SHEP: LE says they believe there is a connection. Searching on this street, metal detectors, chainsaw, excavator in relation to serial sniper investigation clear across the country. Fox News end of report.

HIs girlfriend or mother, no doubt...

FoxNews reporting also that numerous other search warrants in other locations may be "in progress."

Sounds like the lid may be blowing off this whole case and it may be much more than a single psycho.

This is getting weird-er by the minute! YIKES!!!

Unsolved murders by the sniper in the past?

[KSCITYBOY]

I hope I'm wrong but they could be looking for biological agents stored in the ground.

[SunnyUsa]

I don't understand WHY pmsnbc is covering this search LIVE on TV...

WTH is going on, where is the priorities etc???...

I believe nothing about this case, all the hype is continually discredited

[TheLion]

Bullets in the tree stump?

[Joe Hadenuf]

The big question, how is this home related....Does any one have a complete address on this residence in Tacoma??

The first arrest in the case came in May, when Osman, 32--who "helped coordinate" the Bly camp, according to the FBI document--was taken into custody as he turned up for his citizenship interview in Seattle with U.S. immigration authorities.

A search of his TACOMA apartment turned up various weapons, military maps and field manuals, "instructions on poisoning water sources," papers by Abu Hamza, "and various other items associated with Islamic radicalism," according to a law enforcement summary. Osman, a Navy reservist, pleaded guilty to a weapon charge and is said to be cooperating, hoping to avoid deportation.
