John Mohammad disrupts more than USA
Jamaica Observer ^ | 11/9/02 | Texkat

ST JOHN'S, Antigua: Protesters march in St John's, Antigua, yesterday. The march was called to pressure the government into setting up an independent probe into an alleged passport racket which came in the wake of revelations that US sniper suspect, John Allen Muhammad, fraudulently obtained an Antiguan passport. (Photo: AP) ST JOHN'S, Antigua (AP) -- Hundreds of people held a protest march yesterday over the government's stalled investigation into an alleged scam that allegedly awarded a passport to the US sniper suspect.

Some 500 protesters chanted "We are not afraid of (Prime Minister) Lester Bird" and hoisted anti-government placards. Some two dozen businesses closed during the demonstration but reopened hours later.

A task force recently determined that sniper suspect John Allen Muhammad illegally acquired an Antiguan passport and that officials were negligent in approving the US citizen's application. Muhammad lived in this former British colony with his three children from 2000 to 2001.

The government, however, has refused to launch a more thorough investigation until evidence supports that a scam actually took place.

"I am a true Antiguan and I don't want any problems when I travel with my Antiguan passport," said protester Blondina Barnes. She said friends who travelled outside Antigua since the task force's preliminary report was released told her they were looked upon suspiciously.

At least four ChevronTexaco Corp workers who refuel airplanes at Antigua's Vere Cornwall Bird International Airport were participating in the protest march. The action caused several LIAT and Carib Aviation flights to be delayed, officials from both airlines said.

ChevronTexaco was bringing in workers from St Lucia and Barbados, said airport manager Ewrol George. Nobody was answering the telephone at the San Francisco-based ChevronTexaco's offices in Antigua.

The opposition United Progressive Party organised the protest hoping to press Bird's Antigua Labour Party for a more thorough investigation.

Thousands showed up for a similar protest Thursday.

Muhammad, a 41 year-old US Army veteran, met fellow sniper suspect, 17 year-old Jamaican national Lee Boyd Malvo, while living in Antigua. The four-member task force's dragnet for information on Muhammad's activities has determined that the sniper suspect also hatched a plot to kidnap Bird for ransom and to rob a bank using explosives.

Muhammad and Malvo face multiple charges in the string of shootings that left 12 dead in Alabama, Louisiana and the Washington, DC area.

Govt. probably gets a cut. Probably hand out lots of passports to offshore bank/terrorist-related types. I'd keep an close eye on anyone with a Antiguan passport - almost aas close as someone with a Belgian passport.

Hundreds of people held a protest march yesterday over the government's stalled investigation into an alleged scam that allegedly awarded a passport to the US sniper suspect.

Some 500 protesters chanted "We are not afraid of (Prime Minister) Lester Bird" and hoisted anti-government placards...

A task force recently determined that sniper suspect John Allen Muhammad illegally acquired an Antiguan passport and that officials were negligent in approving the US citizen's application...

The government, however, has refused to launch a more thorough investigation until evidence supports that a scam actually took place.

So Muhammad's Antiguan passport wasn't forged, it was gotten illegally. How?

Keep your eyes open for the name Owolabi Elabanjo.

United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification
Fourth Regional Meeting the Countries of Latin America and the Caribbean on the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification
St John's, Antigua and Barbuda
29 April to 1 May 1998
Elabanjo, Owolabi
Senior Field Officer Ministry of Agriculture

Nevis and Temple Street, St. John's, Antigua
Tel: (+268) 462-1213 Fax: (+268) 462-6104
C.E.: owolabi@hotmail.com
LINK

But also...

Antigua & Barbuda International Islamic Society.
c/o Owolabi Elabanjo
Email: owolabil@hotmail.com

So, Owolabi Elabanjo is not only the head of the Antigua & Barbuda International Islamic Society, he also has a job in the Antrguan government. We also have a possible scandal involving someone within the Antiguan government who gave black muslim sniper John Allen Muhammad a fraudulent passport.

Makes you wonder a little, doesn't it?



Post here to the thread if you'd like to be on or off the Sniper Muhammad ping list.

I read all these articles, Sabertooth, but there is now so much information I simply am overwhelmed.

Do you have charts on the wall or something? LOL!

Good work. Scary to think how many Islamic moles we have in North America waiting to curry favour for one of their own.

Muhammad, a 41 year-old US Army veteran,...

Well, there it is again. No mention of his Muslim ties, naturally.

Owolabi Elabanjo is not only the head of the Antigua & Barbuda International Islamic Society, he also has a job in the Antiguan government... Makes you wonder a little, doesn't it?

Actually, no. It just confirms suspicions.

There just has to be more than a casual connection into this government. Who can imagine Muhammad was acting as a lone entrepenuer with no on-the-ground help? I'll bet the deeper connections run a lot wider, and stretch all the way to Al Qa'ida Headquarters!

But we'll likely never hear the full story. More likely we'll just get more background on the Bushmaster and endless re-runs on "is it right to prosecute a 17 year old youth?"!

This is a great find and a great link:

Antigua & Barbuda International Islamic Society. c/o Owolabi Elabanjo.

It sounds like the good citizens of Antiqua have had enough of his corruption and the government officials in bed with him.

The off shore banks in Antigua and around there are probably up to their clymers in Islamofascist funds used to pay for terrorism. They might want to clean this up before we clean it up for them.

Then, Sabertooth adds some real value to it with his reply about Owolabi Elabanjo.


You and Saber are doing a great job in linking this incredible data together.

Please continue to ping me on your posts and replies.

Wow, Sabertooth. Major dot connector in #3. Whether or not Owolabi Elabanjo turns out to be the sniper's facilitator in Antigua (I bet he does!), you have reminded us of the poisonous connections of the anti-American UN groups whose real purpose is to undermine the USA.

We knew those "museums" were supporting the Clintons, but we need to remember that they are working on our destruction everywhere at all times. I bet even most Freepers don't know what the UN Anti-Desertification Treaty is. Think in terms of UN control of WATER--our water. And look who's dirty little hands are in it. This is a separate subject and this thread should remain focused specifically on John Mohammad's Islamist connections, but after we've pinned that one down, it's worth a trip back into these other implications.

BTW when I say "we" I mean Freepers like yourself who dig in and find information and connections that our FBI, CIA etc. seem unable to turn up. I hope they lurk here and I REALLY hope they follow up on what they read. We've been weeks (and sometimes much more) ahead of them on MOST things, including J. Mohammad's connection to the NOI and the 5%ers. Come on, Feddies, pay attention and do your work. We give you LEADS; please hurry up and find the proof. Our lives depend on it.

It tickles me to see that the people of Antigua are protesting against their corrupt government. The more high-profile they become, the more chance of these crooks being prosecuted.

Remember there was a mention at first that the snipers wanted the $10 mil wired to an offshore account.

There might be some truth to Mohammad being sited in Antiqua at a bank in July, August of this year. IMO an eye should be keep on Prime Minister Lester Bird also.

Last night on O'Reilly one of the anti-American Sanchez sisters (D-CA) was worried about 'who will protect us from our former military...' I'm not sure if it was the one who beat Bob Dornan via extensive vote fraud (highly organized illegals voting) or her charming sister.

Muhammad, a 41 year-old US Army veteran, met fellow sniper suspect, 17 year-old Jamaican national Lee Boyd Malvo, while living in Antigua.

When Muhammad met Malvo, Malvo was considerably younger than 17. That's being shaded too.

By the way, speaking of Malvo, he appears to be singing to the cops: Authorities Grill Malvo For 7 Hours: 'Chatty' Teen Contrasts With Silent Muhammad .

Owolabi Elabanjo looks like an African name. What's he doing on Antigua?
