Izzat John Doe II/OKC?

[cinFLA]

I agree. I've had the feeling that this one isn't connected since the moment it happened.

Of course! He only matches the profile by 99%. We must have 200% in order for us to feel right.

Shooter can be using a single shot breakaway pistol (i.e Contender) chambered for a .223 round. Pistol is very accurate if properly boresighted and scoped. Much easier to hide than a full lenght rifle or carbine.

The link requires registration. biteme/biteme works.

I beg your pardon?

It doesn't cost anything and only takes one minute to register. All you need is an
e-mail address, FRiend. And I posted the full article, btw.....

Or they will move it somewhere else.

They could train other cells and do many locations at once say during the Christmas season.

Thanks, Archy !! I was wondering why they didn't include the sketch in the article. I figured it wasn't out yet or something.

How do we know ? Ballistics tests on the bullet recovered from the victim's skull, according to the Washington Times. . .

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks! Always wondered what the password was! ;o)

"The perps want the whole world to realise this is part of a Jihad, and they want credit for it."

My only question is then why arent they publicly taking credit for it? If they want everyone to know, the would have made some type of statement or something.

[NativeNewYorker]

Oh, you did all the right things.

There's a "war" going on in the newspaper/usability universe over linking obstructions, and the paper you cited has one of the worst policies, requiring pointless registration and then forcing you to go though a main page before getting to the desired story.

The biteme/biteme is a common technique across many sites that folks use to tweak the web design teams' noses.

I meant no disrespect toward you whatsoever, and apologize if I offended.

Is that Day-o Belafonte?

[porte des morts]

I have two theories on this. The tin foil one is that they have taken credit and made statements to either a news agency or the governmnet. The messages are being with held from the public.(I said it was tin foil).

The other theory is that these guys are smart, and know that the more evidence that they leave, the more chance they have of getting caught.Just because its a Jihad, does not mean they all want to die for allah. These guys may be payed for what they are doing.

How do we know that this sniper is the same as the others?

I thought they had said the ballistics were conclusive?

Izzat John Doe II/OKC?

So they say. The FBI says he doesn't exist, but the seven witnesses they ordered to keep their mouths shut say otherwise.

One gun, more than one shooter.

Is that Day-o Belafonte?

Nah. Appears to be a former Iraqi Republican Guard officer, possibly a former [?] member of an Iraqi foreign intelligence unit. Details *here*.

Folks on this thread have a lot of catching up to do. The monday night shooting had eyewitnesses. The weapon has been identified as a Chinese made AK-74. It's the same weapon used in at least 5 other shootings (the rest are assumed to be the same). The perp was middle eastern in appearance, according to three witnesses. He got into a white van and drove away. He was seen crossing the interstate median to avoid the roadblocks. the witness to this got a partial licence plate number. There's more, but I'm out of breath.

At least get up to speed on the other threads before repeating week-old theories.

They said that in the JFK assassination and the Martin Luther King murder too. Sometimes they lie, including times when their purposes would be better served by the actual facts. But once they come up with an *official version*, they stick with it.
