Very, very, very interesting.

The man John Allen Williams aka John Mohammed is clearly a Black Muslim. As were the Al Queda types:

• (August) - Earnest James Ujaama, a U.S. citizen, 36, was charged with two counts in an indictment handed up by the grand jury in Seattle. The indictment says Ujaama "did knowingly conspire, combine, confederate and agree" to aid Osama bin Laden's terror network, dating back to the fall of 1999... During October 1999 and November of that year, Ujaama led discussions with others in Seattle and Bly, Oregon, about the need for further training in Afghanistan terror camps, "the commission of armed robberies, the building of underground bunkers to hide ammunition and weapons, the creation of poisonous materials for public consumption, and the firebombing of vehicles," the indictment charges... During this time, Ujaama is also accused of helping operate a Web site for Supporters of Shariah, which the government says was used to "advocate violent jihad against the United States of America and other Western nations."
• (10/04/02) - Agents of the Portland and Detroit Joint Terrorism Task Forces arrested suspected terrorist cell members charged with engaging in a conspiracy to join al Qaeda and Taliban forces fighting against United States and allied soldiers in Afghanistan. The alleged conspiracy names six defendants, five of whom are United States citizens, including one individual with U.S. military training. Jeffrey Battle, Patrice Lumumba Ford, Muhammad Bilal, Ahmed Bilal, Habis Al Saoub and October Lewis are charged with four counts: conspiracy to levy war against the United States, conspiracy to provide material support to foreign terrorist organizations, conspiracy to contribute services to al Qaeda and the Taliban, and possession of firearms in furtherance of crimes of violence. Four of the accused are currently in custody; two remain at large overseas. If convicted of these crimes, the defendants will face up to life in prison.

Note that on (10/11/02) - Michelle Malkin reported that while the media immediately embraced the Angry White Male theory, that "You won't hear Katie Couric or Peter Jennings talking about it with their conventional-thinking experts, but there is a significant possibility that the sniper and the sniper's support system could be non-white Muslim extremists with ties to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network."

So - now here's a sticky situation for the leftists, who wanted this to be some white male, right wing, gun nut, militia member.

Of course, it may not turn out to be Al Qaeda related. Maybe just some guy who know how to shoot and wants to extort money. Anyone wanna place bets on that???

Anyone else see the ex-wife's license plate Fox put up on the screen for the Chevy Celebrity? It's a Maryland plate, and they've put together a mockup plate.

The plate they showed read "Maryland" across the top and "Sons Confederate Veterans" across the bottom. Anybody think this person really has an SCV plate?

No way these suspects request having 10 mil transferred to a stolen credit card. Very weird stuff going on with all this sniper action. Could be a way to fool everyone. Something else is up here. Al Q at work maybe. Lets tie down homeland resources while we plan something else. All this press releases with Chief Moose feels wrong. The public is not being told the whole story. Has anyone heard from Bush or Chaney recently.Something is up and I hope its not too bad.

I don't get TV do you know if the liberal bias media blamed the white gun owner and said that was the profile of the sniper?

[BurbankKarl]

KNBC4LA flew a reporter up to Tacoma, Wa and he is reporting live that the sniper bragged to police that he was so bad he committed a serious crime in Tacoma, Wa and he was never caught. This apparently helped them narrow the search to the two individuals.

CNN just reported "significant police activity" on some highway in Maryland; they're not sure if it's sniper-related.

They have already been arrested and taken into custody. Credit Card that was in there possesion matches the number of the credit account mentioned in the so alleged ransom note pinned to the tree in MD. Balistics has confirmed a match with a slug taken out of the tree in Tacoma WA and the slug fragments found in the victims of the sniper shottings. This has not all been confirmed officially but is currently being reported on the news wires.

Why aren't they calling this guy a "serial killer"? Is it because he belongs to two favorite Demo-rat victim groups, the Black and the homeless?
