Sniper-Related Warrants Issued In Alabama
Authorities Search Suspected Terrorist Training Camp

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Search warrants related to the D.C.-area sniper case were served Wednesday in various parts of the country, including the state of Alabama.

Sources told NBC13 that federal authorities from Montgomery were in the city of Marion in Perry County Wednesday night, armed with a warrant, and were searching property.

The search warrants are reportedly for a terror camp called "Ground Zero," which is located in Marion. The camp was discovered earlier this year following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks in New York.

At the time, authorities thought militants from overseas trained at Ground Zero. There has been no official connection between the camp and the al-Qaida terror network. The owner of the camp said it was a training area for police officers.

NBC13 spoke with camp owner Mark Yates, of Tuscaloosa, who says he knows nothing of any investigation into his camp. Perry County Sheriff James Hood also told NBC13 federal authorities have not contacted him.

The Alabama search warrants were issued hours after authorities started searching a property in Tacoma, Wash. NBC13 has also learned that an Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agent from Alabama is assisting in the investigation in Tacoma.

Sources are describing the issuance of Wednesday's warrants both in Washington state and in Alabama as attempts to follow up on "solid leads."

Developments in this story are unfolding. NBC13 News and NBC13.com will have the latest details on the sniper search and the possible Alabama connection as they become available.

A fifth coloumn might be a little strong, but these folks sure hate whites and any blacks who try to get along with whites. I worked for 21 years in the midst of it. These folks are real scary. Regular black folks are scared to death of them.

Thanks to both of you for the data on the Black Panthers or whatever they call themselves now in that area.

Re their recruiting, one of the biggest recruitment goldmine for the Black Muslims are our prison. They recruit black felons and fill them with hatred of America and anyone who is not Black. When these new recruits go out on parole, they are brainwashed even more in their mosques into being the new footsoldiers of hate.

[momofsixgirls]

my take was that they were trying to p*ss the guy off and flush him out, something Whitcomb said on Msnbc said made me think that.

Sniper hunt turns to Montgomery, Marion

By Dave Hendrick
Montgomery Advertiser


The investigation into the Montgomery County, Md. area snipings moved to Montgomery County, Ala., Wednesday night as a local connection was made in the investigation.

Federal authorities were also reported to be investigating a possible connection between two men they were seeking — John Mohammad, also known as John Allen Wilson, and Lee Malvo — and a shooting range outside Marion.

Capital City authorities have cooperated with federal authorities in the investigation of the Washington sniper, Montgomery Police Chief John Wilson confirmed Wednesday night.

The federal authorities wanted information about the Sept. 21 shooting death of Claudine Parker and the wounding of Kellie Adams at the Alabama Beverage Control store at 2690 Zelda Road, Wilson said.

Wilson said he believed the federal inquiry was a “part of a typical investigation process” in which the FBI and Washington-area police “are following every possible lead.”

Wilson said his department would provide the FBI with all the information it has on the ABC store shooting, but added that “we know our ladies were not shot with the same caliber bullet that has been used by the sniper and were not shot with the same type of weapon.”

“We don’t have any reason to believe that any of our children or any other of our citizens are in any danger,” Wilson said. “If at any time I get any inkling they are, I will be the first one to let the public know.”

“It’s kind of freaky,” Adams said Wednesday night when told there might be a connection between the ABC store shootings and the Washington, D.C., sniper.

She was not contacted until late Wednesday by police or federal authorities about the possible connection. She had not talked to police in two weeks about the shooting, she said.

Mayor Bobby Bright confirmed that the federal authorities contacted city police on Tuesday to get the investigation file on the ABC shooting.

“They had a tipster come and say that there was a connection between the city of Montgomery and Montgomery County (Maryland),” Bright said. “We’ve turned over all the information. There has been no confirmation that it involves the sniper there.”

The information was turned over to local FBI agents Tuesday. Montgomery police were asked to supply follow-up information Wednesday. The lead investigator on the ABC shooting flew to Washington to deliver the information.

Before police told Adams to not talk to the press, she said Wednesday that she never thought the shooting was a robbery, as police reported.

She said that she and Parker were locking up the store for the night when she thought she was stuck by lightning. She was facing the store with her back to the street when the slug struck just below the base of the back of her skull. The slug exited through her face.

Parker was then shot.

“I don’t know where he was when he shot us.” Adams said. “I never saw a face. I never saw him, period.”

She said police suggested the gunman used a handgun and was standing behind a stone pillar.

The gunman, she said, never approached the women or said anything.

“That’s why I don’t think it was a robbery attempt,” Adams said. “He didn’t talk to us, and he didn’t approach us. He went through my purse, but he didn’t taken anything.”

The keys to the store were still in the door lock when police arrived, she said.

Police also told her the slug was a .22 caliber.

The Baltimore Sun is reporting in today’s editions that Montgomery police recovered a fingerprint from a piece of paper at the ABC shooting scene and linked it to Malvo. Fox News reported late Wednesday that a credit card taken from one of the ABC store shooting victims had been linked to the sniper’s financial emands.

As national media began to piece things together, Camp Ground Zero in rural Perry County took center stage. Late Wednesday, Mark D. Yates, operator of Ground Zero, called the reports “absolute nonsense ... (The two men sought by authorities) have never been through any of our programs.”

“I can tell you that they’ve never been to Ground Zero. I think this is a case of the media adding two plus two and getting five.”

“If they had served warrants, we would know it,” Yates said.

He said he has had no contact with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the FBI, “not even police or sheriff’s deputies.”

He also denounced media descriptions of “Camp Ground Zero.”

“It’s not a camp, it’s a shooting range,” he said. “

Perry County Sheriff’s Sgt. Carlson Hogue confirmed at the Ground Zero site that no warrants were served Wednesday. He also said Perry County Sheriff James Hood also knew of no federal action in his jurisdiction.

As of press time, the camp was locked with no visible movement.

Political Correctness in America as we have seen how it has infected the mediots, the police chiefs, the spokesmouths of law enforcement and the liberal governors around DC will kill all of us unless we bury it.

Hopefully this is the start of the beginning of the end of Political Correctness. It will take a decade, but we must start. A reporter on Fox News tonight, Major _______ actually called illegal aliens here in America, illegal aliens. My wife and I both looked at each other and said did he actually say that, and he said it again. My wife said that he will be fired or will have to attend a lot Political Correctness and Diversity training classes to keep his job.

Stop Political Correctness before it kills all of us!

[Grampa Dave]

Wonder if this is the 17 year old son of John Mohammed who is now wanted for some questioning?

[wardaddy]

Tonight on all the cable news outlets(including FOX) one would need circus stilts to wade thru all the BS...especially the "it's gotta be middle aged white guys in cammo" mantra.

[Grampa Dave]

So is this area one of those famous blue areas which voted for the Goron in 2000?

[wardaddy]

Amen.

[calawah98]

Yes, that is his step son

[woofie]

Thanks for all the links .....I shall slowly educate myself...what do you make of the duck in the noose stuff?

[momofsixgirls]

Someone, I think Fox, said he was the step son.

Political Correctness is a fatal CNS virus invasion of humans of the left side of the political spectrum.

After being infected with the Political Correctness CNS Virus, reporters and law enforcement people are incapable of doing any good investigation on a crime to find who is really guilty regardless of color, race or religion.

Whenever, any of these horrible crime from Anthrax to this sniper shooting, the mantra out of the CNS disabled due to the Political Correctness CNS Virus is "Evil White Conservative Bubba Christian Militia Gun Nuts are responsible/guilty.

Then, they waste their time and energy trying to prove that evil white crackers are the problem to prove their half a$$ed mantras. The result is the real criminals get away until something breaks out of the Political Correctness Box.

When the truth comes out, they will bury it or spike the truth totally.

Activated the like-minded al Fuqra cells around the country.

[Grampa Dave]

I know the al Fuqra/Black Muslim being sought has a step son with him. After a few posts here, it appears that step son needs to answer some questions re some serious crimes like murder.

[SowellRocks]

Moose just unintentionally gave the go-ahead for a major terrorist attack by relaying the "duck in a noose" statement. Just speculation, of course, but it sure seems like code to me.

[Demidog]

Next up: Gunsite, AZ. I thought it would be at least until Bush was out of office before the ATF and the "Patriot Act" were directed at lawfull gun owners and their training areas and gun ranges. But nope. It's going to happen under Bush himself. Isn't this lovely.
