Very, very, very interesting.
The man John Allen Williams aka John Mohammed is clearly a Black Muslim. As were the Al Queda types:
- (August) - Earnest James Ujaama, a U.S. citizen, 36, was charged with two counts in an indictment handed up by the grand jury in Seattle. The indictment says Ujaama "did knowingly conspire, combine, confederate and agree" to aid Osama bin Laden's terror network, dating back to the fall of 1999... During October 1999 and November of that year, Ujaama led discussions with others in Seattle and Bly, Oregon, about the need for further training in Afghanistan terror camps, "the commission of armed robberies, the building of underground bunkers to hide ammunition and weapons, the creation of poisonous materials for public consumption, and the firebombing of vehicles," the indictment charges... During this time, Ujaama is also accused of helping operate a Web site for Supporters of Shariah, which the government says was used to "advocate violent jihad against the United States of America and other Western nations."
- (10/04/02) - Agents of the Portland and Detroit Joint Terrorism Task Forces arrested suspected terrorist cell members charged with engaging in a conspiracy to join al Qaeda and Taliban forces fighting against United States and allied soldiers in Afghanistan. The alleged conspiracy names six defendants, five of whom are United States citizens, including one individual with U.S. military training. Jeffrey Battle, Patrice Lumumba Ford, Muhammad Bilal, Ahmed Bilal, Habis Al Saoub and October Lewis are charged with four counts: conspiracy to levy war against the United States, conspiracy to provide material support to foreign terrorist organizations, conspiracy to contribute services to al Qaeda and the Taliban, and possession of firearms in furtherance of crimes of violence. Four of the accused are currently in custody; two remain at large overseas. If convicted of these crimes, the defendants will face up to life in prison.
Note that on (10/11/02) -
Michelle Malkin reported that while the media immediately embraced the Angry White Male theory, that "You won't hear Katie Couric or Peter Jennings talking about it with their conventional-thinking experts, but there is a significant possibility that the sniper and the sniper's support system could be non-white Muslim extremists with ties to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network."
So - now here's a sticky situation for the leftists, who wanted this to be some white male, right wing, gun nut, militia member.
Of course, it may not turn out to be Al Qaeda related. Maybe just some guy who know how to shoot and wants to extort money. Anyone wanna place bets on that???

Just throwing this out there...the tarot card connection. Jamaica/voodoo/tarot??? It's a stretch, but remember Live and Let Die? Takes place in Jamaica, lots of voodoo, Jane Seymour plays a tarot sorceress, death card is involved in her death???

You beat me to the punch! But, yes, I strongly suspect you are on the right track.

We got the OKC/iraq story. It's on the map now. Fox put it on the website today. And now we have John Mohammed (gulf war/iraq connection) as the sniper. These two stories have a common theme. We thought it was white guys, but it really was IRAQ!.

A liquor store was robbed in Marion, Alabama and a credit card stolen.
The sniper wanted the money transferred to that credit card number according to Fox News.
Similiar story in Montgomery, AL, robbery of a liquor store and the focus of federal investigation.
