Sniper-Related Warrants Issued In Alabama
Authorities Search Suspected Terrorist Training Camp

POSTED: 10:05 p.m. CDT October 23, 2002
UPDATED: 10:18 p.m. CDT October 23, 2002

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Search warrants related to the D.C.-area sniper case were served Wednesday in various parts of the country, including the state of Alabama.

Sources told NBC13 that federal authorities from Montgomery were in the city of Marion in Perry County Wednesday night, armed with a warrant, and were searching property.

The search warrants are reportedly for a terror camp called "Ground Zero," which is located in Marion. The camp was discovered earlier this year following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks in New York.

At the time, authorities thought militants from overseas trained at Ground Zero. There has been no official connection between the camp and the al-Qaida terror network. The owner of the camp said it was a training area for police officers.

NBC13 spoke with camp owner Mark Yates, of Tuscaloosa, who says he knows nothing of any investigation into his camp. Perry County Sheriff James Hood also told NBC13 federal authorities have not contacted him.

The Alabama search warrants were issued hours after authorities started searching a property in Tacoma, Wash. NBC13 has also learned that an Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agent from Alabama is assisting in the investigation in Tacoma.

Sources are describing the issuance of Wednesday's warrants both in Washington state and in Alabama as attempts to follow up on "solid leads."

Developments in this story are unfolding. NBC13 News and NBC13.com will have the latest details on the sniper search and the possible Alabama connection as they become available.

Scotland Yard tracked several British-linked Islamic terrorists to this site in Alabama back in July...

Oh wonderful. Wonder if FBI is going to barge into the home of everyone who hits that web site.

My theory is that the sniper is crazy. The duck comment...means nothing to anyone but him.

It's safe to say that the local clients, ie cops, aren't going to have their weapons confiscated by feds.

I suppose it's safe to say since I never said anything like that. They will go after the business guns.

local sheriff notified authorities that Ground Zero had some foreigners coming in shooting up a police car

That would be a felony. He wouldn't have to notify any other authority at all. He could have just arrested them. This sounds like one of those stories which is intended to mislead and deceive. Got a link to the story?

Oh sorry, perhaps the House defeated Bush's attempt at restoring restoring food stamps to legal immigrants as discussed in the URL below.

No, it's not a felony to shoot up a junked police car. The picture isn't the best, but you can make out the black and white police car in front of the berm at the Ground Zero shooting range. You've got to learn to chill out and cease crying "Wolf!" so often, too.

Who about this section of that "screed of bullsh!t".

"And last month, when Bush tried to restore food stamps to some legal immigrants who lost them in the 1996welfare bill, most House Republicans opposed him."

Nice to know where our president is coming from isn't it?

This late in the case, why was Moose (or his bosses) giving in to the shooter's wishes? The very possibility that these things the shooter wants said might be some sort of code - no matter what the shooter was threatening to do if they weren't said - would rule out Moose saying them where millions could hear it.

Unless he twisted it around, and the shooter never asked for that phrase, it's all an attempt by Moose to throw off whomever the shooter wanted the cops to communicate with on his behalf.

Methinks you owe me an apology. Sad that I have to point that out. After posting that picture, most people would have figured that out all on their own...

"Nor is anyone going to disarm Alabama, especially over some Jamaican Black Muslims.

You clearly don't know Alabama.

That is obvious.

Amen to that! When ABC first broke this Marion story in September, my curiosity was peaked. Marion, AL (home of Marion Institute) is a relatively small community where everybody knows everybody. A friend of mine has family there and I asked her to get me a little background on the camp if at all possible. When she called her family they had already seen the ABC article and knew of several investigations conducted (post 9/11) on the place. They claimed the information in the ABC article was completely false. The camp was used for law enforcement training and as a private shooting range. Furthermore she speculated that if Al Queda were indeed in Marion, they would stick out like a sore thumb.

You are welcome.

al Fuqra, Black Muslims, Old Black Panthers and the new Black Panthers are just different sects of America/American haters.

Jamaat al-Fuqra is the world wide directorship of these al Fuqra in the US/Canada and ?. These are the terrorists who had Danny Pearl kidnapped and slaughtered to prevent him from linking all of these groups together. If Pearl had finished his story and connected the dots and money flows from Jammaat al Fuqra to al Fuqra, Black Muslims, Old Black Panthers and the new Black Panthers, and the WSJ carried his story. All hell would have broken loose in America, Canada and ?.

Before this is over, we will see all types of links between these various Islamofascist Groups and their recruitment of Islamakazis from prisons in America and around the world.
