Interesting idea. $500,000 and instant citizenship (or at least permanent green card) for information leading to the capture of the sniper. Hmmmmmmm...
It just hit me...this guy is NOT ME or Al Qaeda...he IS affiliated with Colombian drug lords/terrorists...probably in the US illegally from Colombia...and has several illegal Mexican and/or Colombian comrades...the ransom business is totally their MO, not Al Qaeda...but they have already kidnapped or scared away from Colombia anyone that could be worth anything...American billionaires have too much security for a kidnapping to work...so now they are terrorizing the DC area with sniper shootings hoping for a big payday, playing on locals already fearful of Al Qaeda...these guys are brutal and ruthless, they have killed dozens of men, women, and children all over South America and in Mexico to maintain their grip on the drug trade...this is why the Feds are involved...this is why Chief Moose is referring to non-Americans being eligible for the reward money..
Anyone want to knock this theory down?
