(Jersey City-WABC, January 17, 2005) — A massive turnout is expected this morning at the funerals of a Jersey City family. The family was found bound, gagged and slashed to death on Friday.
The police are talking about robbery and religious hatred as motives. But ABC News has learned the FBI sees a possible link to a terror trial now underway in New York.
The bodies of Hossam Armanious and his wife and two young daughters will leave from Journal Square for the church at around 10:00 this morning. The coffins will arrive at the church just around 10:30 for the funeral service.
Thousands are expected to attend. And many of those are very fearful because there are no arrests in this case.
There are still several theories on the table as to why all this happened. There is doubt and uncertainty in this close-knit community.
ABC News has learned that the slain family's cousin has been a translator working for the prosecution in the trial of Lynne Stewart. She is the radical lawyer accused of smuggling messages from imprisoned Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, to terrorist cell members and associates.

I've got a cat. A big black wild cat. An evil cat. A cat that scratches and bites. My cat can beat your cat. My cat can EAT your cat. Take that, you scrawny, miserable little cat, you. My cat can climb trees, my cat catches snakes and lizards, my cat brings me fresh, live pigeons for breakfast; my cat doesn't need an umbrella! Your cat is a wimpy cat. MY cat scares elephants, your cat is afraid of ennie weenie little mice...my cat challenges your cat to come out into the open where we can see the white's of your eyes. NOW!
...well, hello there little pussy cat, watcha doin? Oh not that...not that!...how many times have I told you to use the litter-tray?
But some idiots say this is me...
And whatever anyone says...my whiskers can detect tsunamis...
Wow. Wow.
SUPERCALAFRAGALISTICEXPIALIDOTIOUS!
The Nazis did that in Bavaria. they took the leaders, mayors and well liked and killed them in front of everyone in the town. Everyone complied after that.
I am wondering about your theory, now that there has been an arrest in the BTK serial killer case. Could he be connected to this slaying? The mo looks very similar.
I think it is a real stretch to imagine that BTK could have killed the Coptic family. Rader's 9 to 5 job, and all his church and civic activities, kept him very close to home. No time to travel to New Jersey and back.
He is, however, suspected of dozens of crimes in the state of Kansas.
But I agree, the MO is very much like the Otero murders. No forced entry. Torture and binding involved. Souvenirs taken. A copycat?
Thanks for the detailed info. I am not American, and I had been having difficulty in locating all the places and distances involved.
Unless this guy was on a business trip or something, it looks like he could not be involved. The police will check, no doubt.
