Let's keep a live commentary thread going again today. The FBI Tip Line #1-888-324-9800.

All seems quiet since yesterday's news the shooter may target children specifically. It was released on various news outlets the shooter's 3-page letter to police was in broken English and threatened extreme violence. Police announced an electronic transfer of $10m as requested by the shooter was not possible but other options for transfer remain open. No one seriously believes police will actually give the shooter $$, but police are trying to keep a dialogue open with the shooter in an effort to capture this monster.

Look at this......

It seems we have a connection.....no matter what the media is saying..

British intelligence officials told ABCNEWS they are closely examining alleged ties between Hamza, who is said to have recruited alleged "20th hijacker" Zacarias Moussaoui, and Zain-ul-Albidin.

Moussaoui!!!!!!!

"why in the world are they saying militia group training and not AQ?

Uh, they don't want to offend the religion of peace?

I know what you mean - I haven't been able to be near FR or news over the last couple of hours, either. I'd appreciate an update, if possible.

"The Rats and the media nitwits are
going to choke on that one if it's true! "

HA! Yeah! And all those ex-FBI profilers' careers are pretty much washed up, too.

[Elenya]

Now we're getting somewhere. "John Muhammed" = not militia

I wonder if he is a follower of Louis Farrakhan ??

My local radio station, reported one of the men is not american. This relates to the search in Bellingham Washington.

[Letitring]

It's not a militia camp. It IS a training camp for ME terrorist. It was linked to terrorist training, middle east variety. I bet the media is not announcing it like that, are they? On MSNBC they are saying they are expecting a VIOLENT confrontation with these folks they are looking for.
